My research interests are focused on ungulate population and habitat ecology. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the mechanisms that drive observed population changes in ungulates, with an emphasis on nutrition. I have conducted most of my research on mule deer. I place a high priority on applied research questions which have direct relevance for agency wildlife biologists and administrators responsible for conserving and managing wildlife. I am also interested in pursuing opportunities to advance field-based and analytical technicques used by researchers.
