JasonBiodiversity is on the losing end of our fantastic climb in population, and in prosperity.
Conserving biodiversity in the face of rapid landscape and climate change requires that we understand how species respond to those changes. That's my passion. I am a wildlife ecologist with an eye for the big picture: a field grandiosely called macroecology. Wolverines, bears, wolves, moose, deer, squirrels, and all the furry things living in the woods capture my imagination. Maybe the 70s cartoon The Green Forest is to blame? I think it may be. Thanks TVO. I research terrestrial and coastal wildlife ecology in large, complex, often human-altered landscapes. I examine the spatial features and ecological processes that help species persist, or send them into declines. I help apply this research to conservation challenges, such as managing landscape disturbance and enhancing species-at-risk recovery. Education
