Brief Description of Research Interests

Aquatic Ecology

Detailed Research Interests

Through a combination of optimality models, simulation models, and empirical observations, my research addresses the link between individual traits, individual behaviors, social systems, and population dynamics. Most of these studies are set in the context of conservation and resource management.
