Fields of Research

  • Quantitative community ecology

Researcher Summary

My research focus is the study of complexity in ecology. I apply tools from fields outside of biology, such as engineering or physics, to uncover patterns in empirical data and explore their ecological and evolutionary consequences.

Subject Area: Disciplines

  • Biology: Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour: Ecology
