Research interests

I'm interested in in population ecology and the factors responsible for temporal and spatial changes in animal populations. My current work focuses on:

  • Effects of host-parasite interactions on population dynamics
  • Characteristics of interspecific parasite interactions
  • Role of host heterogeneities and consequences for parasite dynamics
  • Immuno-epidemiology of host-parasite interactions
  • Evolution of myxoma virus
