I am interested in full life-cycle conservation of migratory birds. My research will focus on studying Common Terns in the Great Lakes region, where populations are threatened or endangered in most states. I would like to study migratory connectivity and improve understanding of Great Lakes migration routes through use of geolocators. I am also interested in estimating colony productivity and determining the importance of different variables, such as predation and weather, on nesting success.
