My students and I study a wide variety of species in many
different ecosystems examining where they live, identifying what they need for long-term viability, and developing recommendations for conservation and
management. We have been focusing our attention lately on the biodiversity hotspot of the
Oak Openings Region in Northwest Ohio. |
|
||||||||||
My primary research focus is the conservation of
native biodiversity, particularly conservation planning and management. This research combines fieldwork with the application of quantitative techniques such as G.I.S.
and risk assessment to conservation issues across many scales. |
