Epizootics of wild fish induced by farm fish

The continuing decline of ocean fisheries and rise of global fish consumption has driven aquaculture growth by 10% annually over the last decade. The association of fish farms with disease emergence in sympatric wild fish stocks remains one of the   more››

Overview of a Methodology for Developing and Assessing Simulation Models of Complex Systems

in computer hardware, recent reviews have concluded that such models have generally not fulfilled their potential for advancing ecological understanding. This state of affairs is at least partially the result of little attention being given   more››

Prediction of dispersal and establishment of aquatic nonindigenous species across Ontario lakes: Linking vector-based and habita

Prediction of range expansion of nonindigenous species is important, as it is often easier to prevent invasions than to mitigate impacts once invasions have occurred. A combination of models for propagule pressure (gravity models) and habitat matc   more››

Spatiotemporal patterns in models of biological invasion and epidemic spread

This seminar is intended to give an informal overview of my previous work and some recent ideas. I am especially interested in patterns of spatiotemporal dynamics that are induced by the joint interplay of spatial spread, demographics (e.g., Allee   more››
