Catherine Burns
Mammals Team Leader
 Dr.
Catherine Burns currently works as the Research Director for WildMetro, an
environmental non-profit organization based in Manhattan. WildMetro conducts
research on plants and animals in the New York metropolitan area to understand
how urbanization impacts the natural environment, and to better protect nature
in the region.
Dr.
Burns is generally interested in studying the impacts of anthropogenic landscape
change on wildlife communities. She completed her Ph.D. and a post-doctoral
fellowship in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University studying the
impact of habitat loss on small mammals in Connecticut, and investigating the
effects of fire regime on large herbivores in South African and North American
grasslands.
Dr.

mammal surveys for the BioBlitz.
