Wildlife biologist interested in conservation, genetics, and carnivore ecology.
It's a privilege to be a part of a paper on tiger conservation. All the hard work was done by Saneer and highlights the successes of research and management in Nepal that have resulted in impressive gains for wild tigers. 🐅🧪🐯

Learn more about the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERR) (NOAA/states partnership). The NERRS do a fantastic job integrating long‐term and short term research for resilient coastal ecosystems. You can find me at Rookery Bay NERR in FL.

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters.

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity
The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors

Genetic rescue has been touted as a conservation tool to revive endangered populations. A remaining question is how long the benefits of can persist in a wild population? We compiled 40 years of data on Florida panthers to get at that question. 🧪🌍🦤🧬

We recently collaborated on a paper that assessed the impact of spatial connectivity and movement by Florida panthers on disease transmission dynamics. You can check out the paper here. #conservation #wildlife science🧪🦤
