Our research is quantitative in nature, based in fundamental ecology and ecological theory, and conducted to address the needs of wildlife managers and conservation practitioners. We strive to make a lasting impact on the field of wildlife ecology and management. To do this, we:
- Ask scientific questions and develop study designs that uncover novel and exciting aspects of wildlife ecology
- Co-produce research with our partners that creates reliable knowledge for managing and conserving wildlife and their habitat
- Provide analytical, scientific, and data support and guidance to our partners
- Communicate our findings to researchers, managers, policy makers, and the public
