Erica F. Stuber, PhD

Assistant Unit Leader - Utah Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit

Erica joined the Utah Unit in 2021. The central theme of her research revolves around spatial ecology of wildlife - from individuals to populations and communities. Much of her research investigates the spatial scales at which organisms respond to their environment to inform spatial 'precision conservation' and management. She is also interested in individual variation in spatial behaviors, and the consequences of that variation on population distributions and dynamics. Dr. Stuber is active in multi-scale analytics development, Bayesian data integration, and incorporation of citizen science information within management decision-making contexts. Dr. Stuber has taught graduate-level courses on Spatial Ecology, and Global Biodiversity Change, and currently teaches Landscape Ecology.

Dr. Stuber received graduate degrees from the Pennsylvania State University and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, and was a Research Scientist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Yale University, and Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
