My group and I investigate how ecological and evolutionary processes interact to determine the fluctuations of populations, with a strong focus on the role of reproductive and dispersal polyphenisms. To develop and test our hypotheses we use laboratory experiments on mites, statistical analysis of field data from species ranging from amphipods, to falcons, to manta rays, and the construction, analysis and application of mathematical models.
