Our lab studies wildlife populations and how we can use statistical methods to answer applied conservation questions. Each project below links to background, methods, and related publications.
Currenly ongoing work at St. Olaf. In this project, we are examining data collected on Californian songbirds using ARUs. Through data science and statistical methods, we aim to assess abundance of five species of birds and compare our results to more traditional methods using data collected with Point Counts.
