Statement of Interests:
Individual-based models of fish, especially stream salmonids. Methods for using agent-based simulation to test ecological theory. Development of theoretical frameworks for individual-based ecology.
Agenda/Plans:
I am currently writing a book (with Volker Grimm) on individual-based models and how to use them for ecology. We expect the book to be published in 2003 by Princeton University Press.References
