Evan, a quantitative ecologist, focuses on how animal populations respond to environmental change throughout complex life cycles. He designs experiments and models to understand how animals respond to a rapidly changing environment. He manages data and conducts statistical analyses using field-derived data, designs research projects, writes proposals, and prepares manuscripts for publication of scientific results.

Evan’s research has been conducted in diverse locales including Caribbean lowland, Costa Rica, Florida’s Everglades, and Hudson’s Bay, Canada. Currently, his projects include modeling offshore migratory events across the Atlantic coast of the United States and developing models that predict how salt marsh species will respond to sea level rise.
