Current Research

I have been working extensively on advancing incorporation of desired future conditions for wildlife in restoration planning, including studies in California, Nevada, and Texas. I am also involved in several studies seeking to conserve endangered species, including birds, small mammals, and herpetofauna. I am currently focusing on the golden-cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo (see http://irnr.tamu.edu/ramses) in Texas and the Sierra Nevada willow flycatcher in California.

My general area of work involves wildlife-habitat relationships, with emphasis on ecological restoration and endangered species ecology and management. I work on all vertebrate animals, although much of my past work has centered on birds and small mammals. I am also very interested in advancing the proper application of study designs and sampling methodologies.
