I enjoy examining wildlife and rangeland ecology through varied lenses such as behavior, physiology, population dynamics, and spatial and temporal dynamics. I have worked with black-tailed prairie dogs, grassland songbirds, and a variety of other species, but my true passion is for birds, and especially galliforms. I hope to continue examining the interactions of hormones and behavior in the future. I have a keen interest in carry-over and sub-lethal effects on reproduction and survival. I am familiar with the use of both frequentist and Bayesian frameworks to analyze complex datasets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acc197fec4eb72f79b8356b/1576176119985-MIWZ933FG2FNGPBUDZXT/coveywithradios.jpg Research A roosting covey of bobwhite with one radio-collared bird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acc197fec4eb72f79b8356b/1538065476610-EWVMKPQOBWRYA1LFX2DU/cows.jpg Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acc197fec4eb72f79b8356b/1538065507249-H61MDSR2UJS2GJTF2XWM/pdogtrapping.jpg Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acc197fec4eb72f79b8356b/1538065487486-2T49RE43BJA0TJL32JLX/foggyNODAK.jpg Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acc197fec4eb72f79b8356b/1542728506202-FGUKFG1R5Q6X6L4UUF3F/Screen+Shot+2018-11-20+at+9.41.11+AM.png Research Winter wheat in south-central Nebraska was already green and actively growing in February of 2017, a suggestion of the potential effects of climate change in the Great Plains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acc197fec4eb72f79b8356b/1576175646740-51LLY9OJT3UEP6CQ7TDB/icestorm.jpg Research A heavy coating of ice is evident on fencing and vegetation after a significant ice storm in south-central Nebraska during the winter of 2015-2016.
