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.
