Research Interests:
My research interests are diverse, but I focus mainly on the ecology of large mammals in terrestrial ecosystems.  My particular interests include interactions between species of different body size within trophic guilds, interactions between browsing ungulates and their woody food plants, and differences in behavior, diet, and habitat use between sex and age classes within large mammal species.  Together with my students and postdocs, I have investigated these topics by conducting field studies on indigenous ungulates and large predators in African savannas.  An emerging theme of my research and publications is the conservation of terrestrial ecosystems through the fusion of science and management.  I am presently enjoying new opportunities to extend my research activities to the rangelands of the American West.
