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. Much of my research has been on the dynamics of parasitoid-host interactions, and how these are affected by parasitoid characteristics and by population spatial structure. More recently I have been involved in studies of plant-pollinator interaction networks.

I also collaborate on a wide variety of research projects by providing statistical assistance. In some cases this has led me to do research on statistical methods, including both developing new methods and evaluating the effectiveness of existing methods.

For descriptions of ongoing projects, go to my Research page.
