Led by Corey Callaghan · Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
What we study
The lab studies how species respond to environmental changes using large datasets, geospatial analysis, and macroecological theory. They combine citizen science, remote sensing, and quantitative methods to understand biodiversity patterns.
