Habitat loss and fragmentation are leading causes of global biodiversity loss, and we unfortunately have a front row view to these processes here in southern California. My research focus is on addressing critical knowledge gaps for endangered pocket mice and kangaroo rats and applying our findings to improve conservation and management for these species. I will discuss a variety of approaches, including behavioral ecology, habitat suitability, and population modeling, as well as partnerships that transform research into conservation applications.
