Interests
I am interested in refining monitoring
techniques so that long-term monitoring is more feasible for certain
herptile species in New England. I am also interested in
quantifying multi-scale amphibian and reptile-habitat relationships and
investigating the effects of human-induced habitat alterations and
urbanization on populations of these organisms in the northeastern
United States. The focus of my work, thus far, has been on Fowler's
toad (Bufo fowleri)
populations on Cape Cod National Seashore.
