Sarah E. Reed, Ph.D. Phone: 970.491.8740 I am currently a Smith Conservation Research Fellow with the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University and the North America Program of the Wildlife Conservation Society. My research focuses on the relationships among human development patterns, land-use practices, and the distributions of wildlife and biodiversity. I employ a wide range of techniques, including non-invasive field surveys, laboratory analysis, and spatial modeling, to investigate how land-use change and human activities affect wildlife communities. I am particularly motivated by research projects that have the potential to inform land-use decisions and conservation policies as well as to expand to our understanding of how wildlife species respond to human disturbances. My postdoctoral research, in collaboration with Dr. David Theobald and Dr. Jodi Hilty, is focused on the potential for conservation development to facilitate protection of landscape-level wildlife habitat connectivity in the American West. I am also co-leading a Global Challenges Research Team on conservation development with Dr. Liba Pejchar at CSU's School of Global Environmental Sustainability. |
