Research Interests: I am broadly interested in the population biology of cetaceans (especially high-latitude populations) with a special focus on their trophic dynamics and foraging ecology, as well as the population-level effects of shifting patterns of resource use. Currently I am studying the relationship between foraging ecology and reproduction in common Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, FL in collaboration with the Sarasota Dolphin Research Project.
