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

Our research focuses on how mammalian behavior and spatial ecology are influenced by thermal biology, ecophysiology, disease dynamics, and landscape ecology. We explore how land-use and climate changes shape animal energetics, movement patterns, and habitat connectivity within complex landscapes. By integrating field data with ecological and landscape modeling, we bridge theory and empirical research to predict how animals navigate and respond to shifting environmental conditions.
