Research interests
My research program is aimed at understanding how populations of wildlife operate and persist in natural populations and in the face of human impacts. I work with wildlife management agencies to apply this knowledge to improve conservation management outcomes. A key focus is on how the two genomes (mitochondrial and nuclear) in animals cooperate and influence fitness.
