Research Summary
|
I use mathematical approaches to address problems that arise in biology.
Recently, my work has centered on three main areas of theoretical
ecology: competition between species (plant
competition for sunlight, interactions at multiple spatial scales,
directed movement along resource gradients, and structured resources),
the spatial spread of epidemic diseases
(rabies and others), and the evolution of
optimal choice (state-based decision-making in foraging gray jays,
the honeybee nest-site selection process, and animal-mediated seed
dispersal). I am also interested in predator-prey and mutualistic
interactions; species persistence and permanence within ecological
communities; the dynamics of spatially (or otherwise) structured
populations; classical and social foraging theory; the behavior
and physiology of animals and plants; and formulating ecological models
that make use of mechanistic reasoning and principles. Non-research
academic interests include the mathematics of juggling; Galois theory;
algorithms and computational mathematics; numerical analysis; evolution
by natural selection; species taxonomy; and the history and philosophy
of mathematics and science.
