Research
My research interests are in ecosystem modeling, evolutionary consequences
of resource exploitation, and ecosystem conservation. Our current work involves
working with global positioning system-collared moose in Voyageurs National
Park and Isle Royale. We attempt to integrate animal behavior, population dynamics,
animal nutritional physiology, ecosystem processes, and plant community dynamics
into a single comprehensive system, and within temporal and spatial contexts.
In mathematical ecology we work on evolutionary stable strategies (ESS) and
the so-called strategy dynamics.
