| Research Interests |
I am a theoretical ecologist with an interest in population dynamics, age and size structure of populations, food web theory, ecosystem theory, forest dynamics, nutrient cycling, modeling of animal behavior and movement, and evolutionary theory. My recent interests have included developing individual-based population models for populations of fish and other animals. I am coordinator of a US Geological Survey program developing a suite of landscape-level models of the Everglades ecosystem.. |
|
| Teaching Interests |
| I regularly teach Ecosystem Ecology (BIL537) and team-teach Dynamics of Water and Ecosystems (BIL592). On an ad hoc basis I teach small graduate-level classes in areas of nutrient cycling or other areas of ecosystem ecology, particularly where mathematical modeling is used. I am most interested in making the mathematical foundations of these and other subjects within the broad areas of ecology and evolution accessible to ecologists. |
