My laboratory group works to integrate basic ecological research into conservation and management decision making. We prefer to investigate basic ecological questions that have the potential to be applied to real-world problems in the conservation of biodiversity. As a result, many of our studies focus on model
species that are threatened or endangered or ecosystems that are rare or undergoing rapid change.
Rangeland & Forest Resources
Our Rangeland & Forest Resources program area includes academic programs for graduates and undergraduates in Rangeland Ecology & Managment.
