Chief Scientist, National Biological Service. 1997-2018 Colorado State University, Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology, Fort Collins, Colorado. Associate and Full Professor (with tenure) of Wildlife Ecology. Major Disciplinary Focus in Research, Teaching and Outreach: In collaboration with my graduate students and post-doctoral associates, my research has focused on conservation planning for threatened and endangered species; science-based management of public lands to conserve biological diversity; population dynamics and viability analyses for at-risk species; and vertebrate demography and life history. For over four decades, my research has emphasized the management of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems to sustain biological diversity with a particular focus on imperiled species. I also work extensively at the interface between science and policy formulation addressing responsible management of public lands in the U.S. In addition, my outreach has included service on two federal advisory committees and a National Research Council panel. I also have had considerable international experience including a scientific exchange program with Russia (sponsored by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences) and primary research in Central America and India. Since 2015, I have administered a science exchange program between Colorado State University and five Indian research institutes with a focus on conserving India’s biodiversity in the context of rapid environmental change. My long- term collaborations in India have been facilitated by two U.S. State Department senior Fulbright Fellowships for teaching and research. My teaching, both at CSU and internationally, focuses on conservation biology, the application of quantitative methods to the design and analysis of ecological studies, and landscape ecology.
