I am a master’s student in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  I work with co-PI’s Dr. Robert Schooley and Dr. Brandon Bestelmeyer on mammalian herbivory dynamics at Jornada LTER.  Our research focus is to clarify herbivory pressures that native rodents and lagomorphs, cattle, and exotic African oryx impose on arid grasslands and their subsequent potential to interact with grassland-to-shrubland state transitions.
