Travis’s research team focuses on understanding how urban environments shape species distributions, populations, communities, and behaviors with a central focus on species conservation and equitable and safe access to nature. The goal of his research team is to provide evidence-based solutions that simultaneously conserve biological diversity and improve the lives of urban residents. Current projects in Travis’s lab are a large-scale camera trap project in the Washington, D.C. region (collaboration with the Urban Wildlife Information Network - UWIN), a deer-human interaction project with an eye towards zoonotic disease transmission, assessing conservation incentive programs in Tanzania, and various D.C. specific projects. Prior to working in the D.C. region, Travis was a postdoctoral researcher at the Urban Wildlife Institute at the Lincoln Park Zoo where he worked on a variety of research questions associated with the Chicago UWIN site. Travis is an Associate Editor for Urban Ecosystems and has been a member of the Urban Wildlife Working Group since 2016. Travis was also the local co-host for the 2023 International Urban Wildlife Conference in Washington, D.C. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/4455d08f-fb0a-4314-8349-dbf590c9e41e/Kitta-Bodmer-Photography-Ketchum-9.jpg Executive Board (old) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/06b99297-51d3-4eb0-8cad-88e2b1a730d7/Headshot.JPEG Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/1bc49241-aa3e-4129-8acd-8f15a5cbe973/Lauren%2BStanton.jpg Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/3bcf0a3d-7cef-4dc8-8e41-37860a299f09/Jennifer%2BMullinax.jpg Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/3e0d672c-9816-4474-958c-8e268b90b71b/Screenshot+2025-11-18+105212.jpg Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/2d4ad12f-c3ac-40b1-a426-b7574d731dd4/20210110_093939-2.jpg Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/a5d9d064-8e61-4627-a434-8ac4135c35fe/IMG_1138.jpg Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/328f1c90-ce1a-4360-900e-cd5e1c064059/IMG_8623.png Executive Board (old) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://urbanwildlifegroup.org/projects daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/1383240491319-VV2SXFF5VNUUXV32V5FS/CookCountyCoyote.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50817177c4aa11e261cc95c7/1383323084404-M2BZPNC2G5K9I7ZES2LY/coyotewithchicken.jpg Projects A coyote with a chicken in the Edmonton study area.

Pickett Steward T. A. Pickett is a plant ecologist and Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. He specializes in urban and landscape ecology, founding the Baltimore Ecosystem Study Long-Term Ecological Research project and co-directing the Urban Sustainability Research Coordination Network. His research explores social-ecological dynamics, equity of green infrastructure, and the ecology of segregation across diverse ecosystems. A champion of inclusivity in ecological science, he has authored influential books on ecological theory, conservation, and urban design. Pickett is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of multiple scientific societies. His many honors include the ESA’s Eminent Ecologist Award and the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Ecology and Conservation.

He uses physiology, gene expression, genomics and experimentation to explore how human activity drives evolution in species across the globe, from urban adaptation of Caribbean lizards to the evolution of tuskless elephants in response to poaching. A passionate science communicator, Shane shares the wonders of biology with broad audiences. Inspired by nature documentaries as a child, he now brings science to the public as the host of Human Footprint and Evolution Earth on PBS. Through research and media, he highlights the deep connections between human history, culture, and the evolution of life on Earth.
