Our
research is devoted to integrating theory, statistical modeling, and
experiments to solve basic and applied problems in population ecology.
The main aims of our research are
-
To
understand the dynamic and stochastic
processes that determine population fluctuations, spatial
spread, and extinction
-
To develop computational
methods for ecological niche identification, disease risk mapping,
and species range forecasting
