Research Interest
My students and I explore the interface between humans and biodiversity - from the dynamics and conservation of small isolated populations, to the role of science in managing protected areas, to the impacts of globalization on biodiversity, and the role of citizen science and community engagement in recovery of species-at-risk. Most of our recent work focuses on endangered turtles and snakes in the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve.
