Dr. Caz Taylor is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Tulane University, affiliated with the School of Science & Engineering. Their research focuses on migratory species conservation, population biology, wetlands ecology, and socio-ecological systems. Key interests include understanding spatial dynamics of populations, migratory connectivity, and the impacts of habitat changes on biodiversity.
Research highlights include developing computational tools for migratory network modeling (e.g., the R package 'mignette') and studying the ecological effects of human activities like coffee agroforestry systems and oil spills. Dr. Taylor’s work spans multiple scales, from monarch butterfly thermoregulation to landscape-level conservation strategies in coastal regions.
Publications emphasize migratory bird conservation, invasive species dynamics, and the application of genoscape models for prioritizing conservation efforts. While no awards are explicitly listed, their research has addressed critical environmental challenges such as climate change impacts on migratory pathways and post-disaster ecosystem recovery.
