Biography
I am an ecologist with a passion for research on the natural history, behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation of amphibians and reptiles. By integrating theories and techniques across these fields to design and carry-out quantitative research my lab tackles both novel and long-held questions in animal ecology. My lab's research takes place in both the lab and field and involves many undergraduate and postgraduate researchers. I am also currently a Canada Research Chair in Integrative Wildlife Ecology.
