Casey C. Day develops and applies computer simulation tools (notably a program called CDMetaPOP) that model how animal populations move, breed, and evolve across landscapes over time. This work is used to understand genetic connectivity and extinction risk for species such as wolverines, grizzly bears, trout, and endangered birds, and to inform conservation and wildlife management decisions, including invasive species control.
