My research interests center upon the habitat relationships of avifauna and herpetofauna in managed landscapes. I have a particular interest in the ecology of early-successional habitats and the species that occupy these ephemeral areas. My current research projects include:

1. An assessment of the effects of growing season versus dormant season prescribed fire on songbirds and red-cockaded woodpeckers in long-leaf pine forests on the Brosnan Forest, Dorchester, South Carolina
2.  Effects of timber harvest within riparian zones on Acadian flycatcher (Empidonax virescens) and Louisiana waterthrush (Seiurus moticilla) activity  in Southwest Georgia
3. Nesting ecology of the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris) in agricultural landscapes on the coastal plain of South Carolina
4. Fruit resource availability and quality in two-age hardwood stands and relationships to avian community structure in the mountains of western North Carolina
5. Foraging and roosting ecology of forest bats in western North Carolina
6. Effects of burning and fuel reduction on avifauna and herpetofauna in the South Carolina Piedmont
7. Reclaimed landfills as surrogate habitat for grassland birds in South Carolina
8. Habitat selection of wintering Henslow’s sparrows (Ammodramus henslowii) on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina
