| Desirée is a conservation ecologist at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, where she studies birds and insects in human-dominated landscapes. Her research combines field experiments, novel biodiversity monitoring tools (automated technology, molecular methods) and ecological modeling to understand the mechanisms that drive multi-trophic interactions, and translate those insights into conservation solutions. A central part of her work is building collaborative relationships across a range of universities and NGOs to build bridges between ecological research and practical conservation action. |
