Research Information

Education:
B.A., Stanford University, Human Biology, 1976; M.S., University of California, Davis, Ecology, 1981; Ph.D., University of California, Davis, Ecology, 1987

Current Research:
My current research effort falls under 3 major projects: 1) interactions between southern flying squirrels and the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, 2) the ecology of the endangered northern flying squirrel in the Southern Appalachians, and 3) the effects of coarse woody debris on small mammal population dynamics and habitat selection. While much of this research involves testing the effects of forest structure and composition on small mammal ecological processes at the local (i.e., within forest stands) scale, I am increasingly incorporating landscape factors into my study designs to test how habitat configurations affect small mammal populations at both the local and regional scales.

Collaborative Research:
Modeling forest structure and composition at various spatial and temporal scales to incorporate into models of mammalian population dynamics and viability; interactions between mammals and other organisms (e.g., insects, fungi).
