Research

Postdoctoral Research

  • Exploring the effects of disease outbreaks on metapopulation connectivity, genetic diversity, and inbreeding-load in the San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica).

Dissertation Research

  • Maintenance of a narrow hybrid zone between native and introduced red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) despite conspecificity and high dispersal capabilities
  • Population genomics reveals distinct demographic histories among extant gray fox (Urocyon) lineages in North America
  • Whole genome sequencing reveals recent and ongoing admixture between highly divergent gray fox (Urocyon) lineages

Ongoing Research Projects

  • Demographic history of red foxes in North America
  • Comparative morphology of red foxes along elevational gradients

Past Research Projects

  • Occupancy, Habitat, and Abundance of the Sacramento Valley Red Fox
  • A review of wildlife camera trapping trends across Africa
