Research

Research in Dr. Gerber’s lab primarily focuses on i) the ecology of terrestrial vertebrates, ii), evaluating and developing quantitative approaches for strong inference and prediction, and iii) developing conservation/management support tools through decision theoretic approaches. His own research often focuses on the population ecology and conservation of rare, elusive, or threatened species, including the boreal toad, carnivores and lemurs of Madagascar, Bengal and Amur tiger, Javan rhino, and Gunnison sage-grouse. He is especially interested in developing monitoring strategies that help inform management and conservation decisions; this work includes study’s on sandhill cranes and mule deer. He is generally interested in connecting data with statistical models to make robust inferences. Collaborators include researchers and managers across numerous disciplines, including statistics, disease ecology, and primatology.
