Jaime evaluated multiple measures of habitat quality in order to identify areas of high quality barn owl breeding habitat in Napa Valley and inform which measures can be reliably used in other areas. Her research also aimed to reveal potential mismatches between observed habitat preferences and fitness outcomes. This helps clarify if the owls selection for nest boxes and habitat is adaptive, and which habitats are best for the owls' reproduction. After completing her MSc, Jaime went on to work as GIS specialist for the Yurok Tribe.
