The Hawaiʻi Wildlife Ecology Lab
A research group within the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management (NREM) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Research
Ecological Monitoring
Applying statistical and computational models to predict how ungulate populations interact with Hawaiʻi’s ecosystems, including impacts on vegetation, watershed health, and native species.
Behavioral Ecology
Examining movement patterns, feeding behavior, and habitat use of ungulates to understand how they adapt to different landscapes and management pressures.
Wildlife Population Monitoring
Tracking changes in ungulate abundance and demographics over time using field surveys, camera traps, and other monitoring tools to inform conservation and management decisions.
Spatial Analysis
Remote sensing, and GIS to map ungulate distributions, habitat preferences, and movement ecology, and to identify priority areas for management.
Outreach
Communication
Engage ranchers, land managers, hunters, and government officials in workshops focused on collaborative management strategies
Presentation
Present research at local and national conferences to share findings and strengthen partnerships
Collaboration
Conduct collaborative research with resource managers, private land owners, and non-profit organizations to advance impactful research
Education
Work with schools, colleges, and community groups to educate and share research findings
