Research Interests

My research tackles a broad suite of questions mainly centered around populations of mammals. Topics range from documenting factors that influence where foxes, coyotes, and other carnivores are found across southern Illinois to understanding how marsh rice rats move between wetlands. One main focus has been studying contacts within and between social groups of white-tailed deer, and using that information to understand and manage how diseases spread in the deer population.
