 abstract: Much of my research focuses on understanding the movements and habitat
   use of animals across the landscape and using this knowledge to advance the conservation
   of wildlife species. My work has encompassed the study of multiple species, including
   black-footed ferrets, coyotes, bobcats, swift foxes, California condors, golden
   eagles, turkey vultures, riparian songbirds, loons, sage-grouse, trumpeter swans,
   Mohave ground squirrels, and desert kit foxes. More recently, my research efforts
   have been directed towards the deserts of southern California, examining ecological
   questions pertaining to species of conservation concern. I am also interested
   in urban wildlife ecology and the use of non-lethal methods to resolve wildlife-human
   conflicts.
