Katie Davis

I am a conservation geneticist and wildlife ecologist. My research interests lie broadly in the fields of landscape ecology and landscape genetics. In particular, I am interested in how modifications to landscapes can influence genetic diversity and connectivity in species of conservation concern. I also find that genetic techniques are increasingly offering answers to questions that may otherwise be difficult to answer; I’m interested in applying eDNA, population genetic, and landscape genetic techniques to questions about community assembly, animal movement, and structural landscape change.

I am also deeply passionate about outreach for children and mentorship in the sciences.
