Teaching

I regularly teach three courses, all of them graduate level:

• Biometry (Zoology 631): An introduction to the practice of statistics, covering methods for data with single independent variables.

• Advanced Biometry (Zoology 632): Linear models (regression and ANOVA) with multiple independent variables.

• Population Biology (Zoology/Botany 652; co-taught with Curt Daehler of the Botany Department): Population ecology and some population genetics and behavioral ecology, with an emphasis on models.

For more information on these courses and my other teaching, and links to the web sites for the Biometry courses, see my Courses page.

Research

I am interested generally in the population dynamics of species interactions. Most of my research is on the dynamics of parasitoid-host interactions, and how these are affected by parasitoid characteristics and by population spatial structure. I am also interested in ecological community structure, and in the effects of alien species (especially biocontrol agents) on endemic Hawaiian species.
