My research and outreach programs focus on responses of wildlife populations and plant and animal communities to environmental change and impacts of human activity. My publications deal with life history and competition among game animals, livestock, and mammalian predators, and their adaptations to environmental change. I use manipulative experiments and observational techniques to evaluate impacts of military training, hydroelectric development, oil and gas development, and production agriculture on wildlife. One of my new research initiatives evaluates habitat enhancement practices to improve range, brush lands, and forests for both livestock and wildlife.
