While my specific study systems have changed over the years, my research continues to be centered around similar themes and motivations as I take on different projects.
Research Themes
Impact & Applicability
Impact & Applicability
Aim to pursue applied research questions that can provide solutions to pressing topics - biodiversity, land-use change, climate change, etc.
Co-Produced Knowledge
Co-Produced Knowledge
Work alongside practitioners and those with lived experience to ensure practicality and feasibility are considered while developing research questions.
Data Science
Data Science
Incorporate new data science techniques in data analysis and tool development to see if we can gain better insights into agricultural and natural systems.
Current Research Projects
Landscape Ecology
Landscape Ecology
Literature Review - How do local management practices and surrounding landscapes interact to impact arthropods and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes?
Ecosystem Services
Ecosystem Services
What management practices enhance ecosystem services, such as biological pest control and pollination, in agricultural landscapes?
Diversified Farming Systems
Diversified Farming Systems
How do diversified farming systems, such as silvopasture, provide environmental, social, and economic benefits?
Application
Application
Can we use a combination of long-term datasets, modeling, and field experiments to predict pest prevalence based on climatic, environmental, and management factors?
