Our group conducts research at the intersection of forest management, biodiversity conservation, and behavioral ecology to understand how animals respond to land-use activities and environmental change in forests.

We are quantifying how forest management undertaken to mitigate fire risk influences the dynamics of wild bee communities.

Our investigation of the Black-backed Woodpecker is aimed at understanding how breeding ecology varies between individuals using burned and green forest within a fire mosaic landscape.

We are using bumble bees to evaluate how features of intensively managed early seral forests influence habitat quality and landscape-scale movement.

Our work with the blue orchard bee is aimed at assessing how bee reproductive ecology varies as a function of disturbance intensity, forest management, and future climate change.
