I am a biologist that uses physiology to understand how animals function across landscapes. My research blends experimental biology with simulation-based computer models to determine whether animals have the physiological, behavioral, or evolutionary potential to tolerate change in their environment. My approach provides a comprehensive understanding of ecological systems, from genes to geography, while improving our capacity to predict the impact of climate change.
