PeerJ Author

Summary

Our work ranges from defining conservation priorities of individual endangered species to investigating the impacts of global change on entire habitats. Within the field of conservation ecology our research methods include the use of remote sensing to identify the rates and causes of deforestation, the development of innovative wildlife survey and monitoring techniques and development of new sound-based methods to monitor 'health' of tropical forests and marine environments.
