My research focuses on the effects of climate change and habitat loss on the persistence of populations. Specifically, three checkerspot butterflies (pictured below from left to right: Chlosyne lacinia, Euphydryas gillettii, and Euphydryas editha) serve as my model organisms for exploring these anthropogenic processes and their effects on populations.
