Habitat loss, climate change, and biodiversity declines represent some of the major challenges facing humanity today. Through our research, we seek to understand the factors that determine the extinction or persistence of threatened species at local and landscape scales, and the synergistic effects of environmental changes including habitat modification, invasive species, disease, and pollution. We are particularly interested in the increasing importance of wildlife pathogens in biodiversity conservation, and in developing the emerging study of aeroconservation.
