Jaymi LeBrun

Past NE CASC Fellow
Ph.D. Student, University of Missouri, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Science

Consortium Institution: 

University of Missouri Columbia

Education: 

B.S.: Zoology, University of Wisconsin, 1997.
M.S.: Animal Ecology, Iowa State University, 2008.

Research Interests: 

My research explores ecological questions associated with both spatial and temporal changes occurring across the landscape and their effects on species of concern. More specifically, I am interested in how forest management focused on mitigating and adapting to climate change affects avian species at regional scales. Currently, I am developing Bayesian hierarchical models to assess the impacts of land cover and climate on avian abundance.
