Research Interests

My research seeks to understand the fitness consequences of avian habitat selection through quantitative measures of habitat quality and avian performance. Much of my work is driven by anthropogenic habitat modifications, consequently much of my research revolves around issues of habitat management and the conservation of declining species.
