Currently residing in the Department of Biology at Austin Peay State University

We study how mammalian behavior is driven by thermal biology, ecophysiology, and disease ecology. Our research stems from the overarching questions about how land-use change and climate change shape animal energetics, movement ecology, and foraging behavior.  We operate at the junction of theory and empiricism, combining field data with ecological modeling techniques.
