Dr. Record joined the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology in August 2022. Before joining UMaine, Dr. Record was Associate Provost and Associate Professor of Quantitative Ecology at Bryn Mawr College near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, in the Plant Biology Program; and a B.S. from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Sydne Record is\u00a0the Executive Director of the University of Maine System TRANSFORMS Student Success and Retention Initiative and\u00a0a Professor of Landscape Conservation in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology at the University of Maine.\u00a0Prior to this, she was the Associate Provost of Curricular Assessment and Sustainability and an Associate Professor of Biology at Bryn Mawr College.\u00a0She earned her Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.\u00a0Her interdisciplinary\u00a0research spans ecology, statistics, and computer science. Her\u00a0research program focuses on the effects of disturbance on forests and using technology like remote sensing and artificial intelligence to study biodiversity.\u00a0She has secured over $2.82 million in grants and is the author or co-author of over 80 publications in leading journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Record\u2019s research focuses on two main themes: 1) understanding what processes (i.e., demographic, species interactions) result in the distribution of species and 2) determining drivers of genetic, trait, and species diversity across large landscapes (and oceans).  More specifically, her research program focuses on linking ecological theory and site-scale empirical data with collation of large data sets on regional and global ecological patterns using quantitative methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students working in Dr. Record\u2019s lab are focused on National Ecological Observatory Network sentinel organisms (small mammals, fish, beetles, ticks, mosquitos, plants) and using remote sensing of forests and land use to better understand wildlife habitat availability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Record teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Wildlife Population Dynamics (WLE 410\/411) and occasionally fills in to teach General Ecology (WLE 200).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
