Carson P. Hedberg

​I am a mammal community ecologist and conservation biologist with a particular interest in large mammal biology and ecological function. Using both quantitative and field-based methods, my research explores how anthropogenically mediated species loss and/or introductions have influenced ecological function and community structure through time. Through my background in paleoecology, I strive to apply insights from the fossil record to modern conservation challenges and wildlife management. I completed my doctorate from the University of New Mexico in the fall of 2024 and am currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University.
