I am an evolutionary ecologist and my research group aims to better understand how the ecology of lineages predicts evolutionary range dynamics.

You can find a list of publications from my research here. Check out the links to freely available preprints of peer-reviewed research including preregistered research. 

I am an active mentor to junior scientists in a wide range of skillsets including requesting permits for wild animal research in the USA and abroad, bird capture and sampling techniques, field work safety, and writing. Click here to read more about my approach to teaching & mentoring.

The virtual International Ornithological Congress (IOC) took place from August 15-19, 2022. I convened a symposium on Predicting Bird Distributions with Global Change with speakers from around the globe. This symposium focused on how to integrate predictive distribution modeling with conservation action at local scales and was followed by a lively discussion session with the audience and conference organizers. Thank you IOC (and particularly Dr. Judit Szabo) for inviting me to contribute this symposium to the conference!
