Hello! My name is Teng and I invite you to get to know me and the research that interests me.

Beyond the beautiful contour maps that we draw for home range analysis, what is the biological significance of them? The literature is full of references to the core home range, but why is the core home range significant? I propose to look at the core home ranges of organisms through the lens of optimal foraging theory.

I’ve outlined my accomplishments on my CV, but who just wants to read a list of bullet points, right? You want to know me and make sure you’re not wasting your valuable time on me. My blog posts should give you an idea of who I am. My experience covers both the marine and terrestrial environments, with particular respect to the Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris) and the Puma (Puma concolor). My undergraduate research focused on geospatial analysis, with respect to home ranges.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
