Our main areas of research focus on (but are not limited to) avian demography and behavior, and the impacts that introduced predators have on native species and ecosystems with the Oahu Elepaio, Laysan Albatross and Red-tailed Tropicbird being our focal species.

We actively conduct seabird monitoring at Kaena point, Lehua Islet on multiple seabird species, and are involved in variable circular plot designs for monitoring forest birds on other Hawaiian Islands. We regularly conduct surveys and monitoring of rare species state-wide. Click on one of the links below to explore some of our current projects.
