Specific Interests
My current research focuses on life-history characteristics of Gray Vireos in New Mexico. Specifically, I'm interested in developing multi-scale models of brood parasitism risk by overlapping the spatial area of Gray Vireo nest-site selection and Brown-headed Cowbird habitat selection. Additionally, I would like to develop predictive models of Gray Vireo carrying capacity as a function of resource availability and territoriality.
