All faculty (tenured, tenure-track, visiting and adjunct) are invited to complete a biography. Because we wanted to create a form that has opportunities for everyone to convey a sense of what's special and important to you, and important, in your view, for prospective students and prospective colleagues to know about you, we have several optional questions. Please complete as many optional fields as you wish.

My research interests center on basic questions in ecology and conservation biology, particularly of mammals, though I have worked on other vertebrates and also plants. I am particularly interested in the ecology of North American porcupines, which I study right here on campus with a team of students. I am also particularly interested in the biology of small populations and using genetic approaches to answer ecological and conservation questions.
