Bio

I am the Director of the Long-Term Ecological Research site located at Kellogg Biological Station. I conduct large ecological experiments to test the effects of habitat loss on ecological systems. I am particularly interested in how to reverse negative effects of habitat loss by reconnecting and diversifying working landscapes. Much of my research focuses on insects, including on the rarest butterfly species in the world.
