Research
My research profile broadly encompasses population ecology with a focus on wildlife populations. My research interests and expertise range from life history, behavior, population dynamics to predator-prey interactions and their effects on ecosystems. My research is particularly focused on large predator species such as wolves (Canis lupus) and ungulates such as moose (Alces alces).
