I spent my time as a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Nicholas J. Gotelli at The University of Vermont. There we cooperated on theoretical work looking at spatial patterns in the distribution of Australian birds as well as work on the foraging strategies of antlions that is still on going. During this time, I also carried out research looking at insurance offspring in Red-winged Blackbirds with Dr. L. Scott Forbes of the University of Winnipeg, and cooperated with Dr. David E. Capen and Ms. Margaret R. Fowle of the University of Vermont on research looking at the diet and foraging behavior of Double-crested Cormorants on Lake Champlain.
Publications relating to this work are listed below:
