Research interests
My primary research interests revolve around the potential impacts that changes in landscape structure have on animal behavior. For example, as an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota I spent two years investigating bison foraging behavior in the face of predation and a changing landscape structure. Although this particular study was based solely on observational data, there are techniques that can be used to measure such behavior in a more objectively quantitative manner. Thus enters my interest in stable isotope ecology. Ultimately, I would like to combine observational and stable isotope data to help me answer questions concerning ungulate foraging behavior in the face of varying predation pressure and changing landscape structure.
