Research Interests
Animal behavior and ecology, including individual variation in foraging ecology, effects of climate variability and human disturbances on behavior, and the relationship between behavior and energetic expenditure. My dissertation is focused on using an individual-based approach to understanding the foraging behavior and energetics of California sea lions.
