Fates of populations in modified habitats
Wild populations are facing unprecedented global change. We study the nature of this change through the lenses of ecology, evolution, and conservation. In particular, we ask whether populations experiencing environmental change are adapting or becoming maladapted. Our work is guided by an overarching goal of developing understanding of the fate of natural systems influenced by human activities.
