Education:
B.S., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966
Ph.D., Yale University, 1972
Field: Population dynamics; evolutionary theory, animal behavior.
Research Interests:
I am a theoretical ecologist with an interest in population dynamics, age and size structure of populations, food web theory, ecosystem theory, nutrient cycling, modeling of animal behavior and movement, evolutionary theory, forest dynamics, and global climate change. My recent interests have included modeling the dynamics of nutrients in streams and developing individual-based population models for populations of fish and other animals. I am currently working as part of a group to develop a landscape level model of the Everglades ecosystem.
