In the Grames Lab at Binghamton University, we use quantitative methods, evidence synthesis, and long-term data to understand the effects of rapid environmental change on biodiversity, with a special emphasis on the causes of insect decline and consequences for insectivorous birds.
We combine diverse, messy, and sparse time series datasets to understand impacts of global change on biodiversity at broad spatial scales
We seek out overlooked historical datasets and unique data sources that can improve our understanding of long-term trends and the status of biodiversity before modern ecological research and biodiversity monitoring.
We develop new methods to make conservation biology more efficient when it comes to evidence synthesis, data integration, and systematic monitoring of biodiversity.
