News and Events
I'm excited to have been invited to attend the ESA's 'Scaling Up: Continental-Scale Ecology' workshop for early career scientists - June 3-7, 2013 in Baltimore.
Write-ups of my 'return-on-investment' paper appeared as an Editor's Choice in Science on 9/28/12 and in Conservation Magazine on 8/31/12. The article is published in Ecology Letters and is available online. A teaching case study for landscape ecology I wrote with Christina Kennedy, "Does the Matrix Matter? Testing the Influence of Matrix Type on Bird Responses to Forest Fragmentation" is now online at the NCCSTS site. Find out more about me from this profile in FIU News published 6/21/2012. The book 'Conservation Biology for all', edited by Navjot S. Sodhi and Paul R. Ehrlich, is available for free download. Follow me on Twitter @johnwithey |
Current Research
As an urban ecologist it is my goal to collaborate across disciplines to understand the responses of native wildlife to land-use and climate change, especially in urban areas, in order to provide strategies for adaptation and mitigation. I use a combination of on-the-ground field studies, modeling and quantitative tools, and spatial analyses using GIS in my work.
