My research focuses on on understanding how species interact within ecosystems and how global change is influencing those interactions. I study a wide diversity of organisms, including plants, insects, reptiles, and mammals, to understand how ecosystems respond to environmental change.

Current projects include:

--Predicting the effects of climate warming on predators and their prey
--Developing sound as a weapon against insect pests
--Understanding the ecosystem effects of mass mortality events
--Evaluating the effects of baiting by hunters on the movement and behavior of deer
