Theory and modeling

 

In an effort to better guide our understanding of eco-evolutionary dynamics, we have conducted a number of theoretical studies and individual-based models. The former were mostly collaborations between Dr. Hendry and Dr. Troy Day (Queens University). The latter are mostly the efforts of former PhD student Xavier Thibert-Plante (NIMBios), former postdoc Jacques Labonne (INRA), and current PhD student Ben Haller.
