RESEARCH INTERESTS
Broad research interests are interdisciplinary and include landscape ecology and community ecology; specific interests deal with habitat selection, community structure, and dispersal in heterogeneous and dynamic landscapes, with a focus on arthropods and birds. Current research focus is chiefly on dragonflies and damselflies inhabiting playa wetlands of the Great Plains.

The scientific pursuit of asking and answering questions is the same fundamental occupation of higher education. My main interest as a teacher is in developing students' enthusiasm to ask and answer questions. This ability serves all students, regardless of their career goals, because it teaches them how to be critical thinkers. A person who has been taught how knowledge itself is gained has been taught a valuable skill, indeed. My methodology incorporates traditional lecture-oriented teaching, discussion-oriented teaching, and use of internet-based technology.
