Graduate Students

a note to prospective students:

I am always open to taking on new students, if they:

• are interested in working on one of my current research projects
  • theoretical work on parasitoid-host and/or metapopulation dynamics, or
  • field work on pollination interaction webs), or
• are interested in starting one of a few research projects I am interested in, on spatial dynamics of Hawaiian insect populations (contact me for details), or
• have already identified a specific research project related to my general interest, and have identified — and preferably had experience with — a suitable study system.

I do not currently have funds to support additional students but my students have typically been successful in obtaining funding through fellowships or teaching or research assistantships.
