The Blakey lab researches how global change stressors, like fire, urbanization and agriculture, influence vertebrate animal behavior and community assembly. We use this knowledge to work with natural resource partners to improve the way we conserve, manage and coexist with wildlife.

Fire Ecology
Fire Ecology
Changes in fire regime due to anthropogenic climate change are challenging even the most fire-adapted ecosystems. We research how fire influences bat communities, via their traits, and also how
Urban Aerosphere Ecology
Urban Aerosphere Ecology
The aerosphere, or the lower troposphere between 1-10km above the land surface, is the largest habitat on Earth. While we know that many organisms including birds, bats and aerial insects utilize this habitat as they migrate and search for food, we know very little about how these habitats are impacted by anthropogenis stressors. We use a variety of tools to assess the three dimensional structure of these stressors including remote sensing and in sintu measurements using drone-bourne sensors

Ecosystem Services
Agricultural lands covers about half of the habitable land on earth. Aligning the needs of agricultural production with biodiversity conservation is a critical challenge in human-wildlife coexistence. The Blakey lab is part of a multi-taxa research project based in the Utom (Santa Clara) River Valley in Ventura County, with a goal to maximize ecosystem services provided by native organisms in order to
