Conservation ecology for populations and communities

The Fletcher lab has broad interests in applying principles of population and community ecology to pressing conservation problems. These problems range from habitat management and restoration strategies to dealing with invasive exotic species. Throughout this work, there is a strong focus on on using quantitative methods to better interpret management problems and provide solutions. We also focus on spatial issues relevant to demographic processes and habitat management that can influence management success.
