Research Statement:
As a broadly trained ecologist, I've spent my years designing behavioral experiments, measuring plant-animal interactions, collecting vertebrate ecology data, and learning how to isolate and optimize microsatellite loci. As a new addition to the Orrock lab, I hope to learn how to combine my interests and experiences in community and population ecology with animal behavioral measures. |
