Research Overview
My research focuses on large-scale biodiversity conservation, especially how species change across time and how we can strike a balance between human development and biodiversity conservation. My master’s research explored species discovery patterns and the determinants of new mammal species discovery. I am also interested in past biodiversity and what it reveals about the losses we have experienced over long periods of time. Currently, my research investigates how land use change affects the habitat ranges of zoonotic host species.
