Personal Statement Welcome! I am an NSF Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellow in the McDonald Lab at the Dept. of Zoology and Physiology, University of Wyoming. My past and present research has focused on the behavior, ecology, and conservation of mammals and birds. Currently, I am studying the social network structure and dynamics of cooperation in male social networks of long-tailed manakins (Chiroxiphia linearis), a unique tropical bird species in which males cooperatively display to attract females. I received my Ph.D. in biology (2010) from the University of New Mexico, M.S. in wildlife and fisheries science (2004) from the University of Arizona, and B.S. in biology (1999) from Willamette University. My dissertation research explored the proximal cues of natal dispersal in mammals, seasonal variation in burrowing behavior, and the facilitative interactions between granivorous kangaroo rats and harvester ants. For more information on my research, publications, and CV, please use the links listed above. Check out this feature highlighting my kangaroo rat research recently posted on the Wild Mammal Blog. David McDonald and I are hosting a symposium on network science in biological, social, and geographic systems during spring 2012 at the University of Wyoming. Click here for more information.
