Dr. Rebecca Lewison
I am a conservation ecologist and a Professor at San Diego State University. I also serve as Director for the Institute for Ecological Management and Monitoring, a multi-disciplinary research institute at SDSU.
I received my Bachelor's degree from Vassar College and went on to complete my doctorate in Ecology at the University of California, Davis
Using innovative field, quantitative and lab-based approaches, my research focuses on vulnerable wildlife populations that live in both terrestrial and aquatic environments and face pressing conservation issues, e.g. fragmentation, habitat loss, harvest and incidental mortality, disease and other disturbances. Over the past decade, I have been spearheading integrative research in conservation ecology, policy and resource use, with expertise and experience across a wide taxonomic range of organisms. I have served as a leader of several research initiatives designed to develop new tools and methodological approaches to understand the magnitude and extent, of population-level and landscape level effects of human-mediated activities.
