Alston I am a quantitative ecologist with eclectic research interests, but most of my research relates in some way to animal movement, wildlife-livestock-ecosystem interactions, macroecology, or conservation biology. I grew up in rural northeastern North Carolina, went to Davidson College for my undergraduate degree, got my PhD in the Goheen lab at the University of Wyoming, and did postdoctoral research in the Calabrese lab at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding in Germany. I am now an Assistant Professor in the Wildlife Biology program in the University of Arizona’s School of Natural Resources and the Environment. Aside from my research, I also work to increase access to science through open access, open science, and public media. When I'm not science-ing, I am usually reading, writing, or exploring nature with my wife and dogs. Click here for my CV.

My research seeks to better understand how we can harness recent advances in animal tracking to improve our understanding of ecological processes. I am working to improve statistical methods for modeling animal movement, make these methods more accessible for biologists who are not statistical experts, and use them to quantify global patterns of animal movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/07bd0eae-fbb5-4215-ba51-549e60586da0/cattle_grazing.png Research - Wildlife & Livestock Much of the world’s best remaining wildlife habitat is also inhabited by livestock, but coexistence between livestock and wildlife is not always harmonious: large carnivores prey on livestock, large herbivores compete with livestock for food and water, and many diseases are transmitted between livestock and wildlife. I am working to find ways that wildlife and livestock can coexist so we can maintain robust and resilient wildlife populations without damaging human livelihoods and cultural legacies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/39ab2637-e41e-47eb-b6d4-440d109c7738/man_planting_tree.png Research - Conservation As much as I love thinking about questions in basic ecology, I find ecological research a bit empty if we cannot apply it to conserve to restore ecosystems and the biological communities that inhabit them. Much of my research therefore revolves around working to leverage ecological research to inform conservation action. This works best when we can find win-win situations in which both wildlife and people benefit. http://www.jmalston.com/academic daily 0.75 2026-01-27 http://www.jmalston.com/popular-science daily 0.75 2025-01-24 http://www.jmalston.com/job-boards daily 0.75 2022-01-06 http://www.jmalston.com/join-the-lab daily 0.75 2025-01-24 http://www.jmalston.com/alumni daily 0.75 2025-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/f639551c-86a4-48a6-bb67-e7a0eb74d6c9/mercer_photo_20240826.jpg Alumni - 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/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/65dab626-b4e7-4a00-9aa9-a5e99ff07a52/natalie_photo_202505.jpg Alumni - 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/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/2659c878-d5e8-42cb-83db-95c5f5b4d2d0/eddie_photo_202505.jpg Alumni - 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/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/d38c4f3b-68db-468d-a445-6d74f0b6c54d/mitchell_photo.jpg Alumni - 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/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/8f80329b-b728-4c2a-a947-5415b0473d3d/reck_photo_20230827.jpg Alumni - 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/v1/57820b1f5016e19ee3cb3ad2/aa5e843f-b28d-4601-bc4b-07a150811a3d/satterfield_photo_20240826.jpg Alumni - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.jmalston.com/urban-wildlife daily 0.75 2025-02-21 http://www.jmalston.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-27 http://www.jmalston.com/r-workshop daily 0.75 2026-03-02
