Dr. David Miller
Associate Professor of Wildlife Population Ecology

I work with a variety of questions and taxa - all with a general focus on better understanding the population and community dynamics of wildlife species. My research focuses on matching quantitative tools and ecological understanding to better understand how species will respond to environmental change.

Carli Dinsmore

Research Associate

Carli completed her M.S. degree in the fall of 2019 and is currently working as a research associate in the lab. Her M.S. research focused on estimating the effects of climate on growth rates of garter snakes using mark-recapture data.

Maisie MacKnight

PhD Student - Ecology

Maisie comes from the University of Georgia, where she established her passion for amphibian conservation. Her dissertation research is focused on the relationship between dispersal and habitat fragmentation in a changing climate. Her research is part of SPARCNet, a regional population monitoring network that assesses drivers of population dynamics and she will coordinate mark-recapture efforts for two study areas in PA.
