Welcome to the SpaCE Lab
at Iowa State University
We study animal movements, space use, and landscape interactions in tropical and temperate landscapes
Animal movements and spatial use structure ecological communities. Understanding the effects and drivers behind these processes provides critical information in a changing world. Research in the SpaCE Lab centers on testing hypotheses and answering questions about spatial ecology and animal movements using quantitative tools, particularly in heterogenous landscapes. We rely on a combination of fieldwork and spatial modeling to conduct our research.
