so happy to share a chapter from my dissertation is out today in @PNASNews showing that historical redlining, a policy that codified segregation & disinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, shapes contemporary wildlife biodiversity in California (1/2) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2321441…

Historical redlining is associated with disparities in wildlife biodiversity in four California...

I was interviewed by BBC radio to share my perspective on how the Trump administration’s recent federal funding policies have affected me as an early-career researcher, currently transitioning from a PhD to a postdoc. Thanks for having me @PeaseRoland bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5v…

new preprint for half of my last dissertation chapter!! we find that urban coyote boldness and exploration are uniformly associated with changes in human densities rather than pollution! read more below :)) co-authored w/ @Lauren_Stanton_ & @UrbanSchell researchsquare.com/article/r…

Human densities, not pollution, affect urban coyote boldness and exploration

Comparative studies show that urban coyotes behave differently from their rural counterparts. However, these studies often treat cities as homogeneous. Cities feature diverse pressures for wildlife,...

I'm so excited to share that my first dissertation chapter on SF coyotes is out in the #OpenAccess journal @ESAEcosphere. We DNA metabarcoded and genotyped hundreds of scats to explore dietary variation across the city 🧬💩🧪 doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70152

Impervious surface cover and number of restaurants shape diet variation in an urban carnivore

In the past decade, studies have demonstrated that urban and nonurban wildlife populations exhibit differences in foraging behavior and diet. However, little is known about how environmental hetero...

out today in @PLOSBiology, we surveyed ~800 EEB scientists and show that contemporary terminology in EEB harms marginalized groups, including along race, gender, sexuality, and class lines. Check it out!! journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

Terminology in ecology and evolutionary biology disproportionately harms marginalized groups

The discipline of ecology and evolutionary biology has long grappled with issues of inclusivity and representation. This study finds that individuals from marginalized groups were more likely to be...

My first first-author paper is out! Did you know eye lenses grow in layers throughout life? They can reveal movement and foraging ecology. However, here we show not all fish have the same molecular composition in their lenses—especially sharks! link.springer.com/article/10…
