Summary
My research focuses on how best to manage natural w88 slot on public lands. The ‘resource’ is almost always, though not exclusively, reptiles. The ‘lands’ are always deserts. My interests are in the biogeographic distribution of species and ecosystems; distribution of habitat given diverse (and diversifying) land use; habitat degradation; and more recently, climate change. I work with desert tortoises in the Mojave Desert, USA and girdled lizards in Namibia.
