Anna Kohlberg

MS Student Hi! I am thrilled to join the Levi Lab as a master’s student at OSU. My research focuses on bioacoustics as a non-invasive tool for modeling ecosystem dynamics and community ecology, intending to put forth best practices for conserving biological diversity. I have worked on various bioacoustics projects with different taxa, from analyzing […]

Kayla Fratt

PhD StudentI am positively obsessed with optimizing and expanding the use of detection dogs for non-invasive ecological research. While at OSU, my research will focus on wolf-sea otter interactions in southeastern Alaska. The wolf scat that the dogs find in Alaska will help us answer questions regarding wolf diet, sea otter consumption, and what that […]

Lara Mengak

PhD Student I am a conservation social science PhD student masquerading as a wildlife ecologist. For my dissertation, I will be looking at the social-ecological system of wolves, ranchers, and drought in eastern Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, more broadly. Our work will explore how wolves, wild and domestic ungulates, and drought affect the relationships […]

Marnet Ngosi

MS Student I am interested in wildlife population dynamics. Specifically, building methods, techniques and models to estimate population abundance, distribution and habitat use. I have spent four years working in the field in an on-going wildlife and habitat monitoring program in Malawi. In my Masters dissertation I will work on modelling abundance and distribution of […]

Megan Sabal

Postdoctoral Research Associate I am passionate about combining applied aquatic research with ecologically broad theory to inform conservation and management. My research has focused on the intersection of predation and migration in aquatic environments and how humans modify these interactions. I use diverse approaches including experiments, observational data, models, and syntheses to scale from individual […]
