Sebastian J. Schreiber
Professor of Evolution
& Ecology
Welcome to my corner of the web! I am a theoretical ecologist and
mathematician. My research interests
focus on understanding the feedbacks between community structure, population
dynamics, and evolutionary processes. To achieve this understanding,
I construct mathematical models and uncover their emergent
properties using analytical methods and numerical
simulations.
Current projects include understanding (a) how spatial-temporal variation and individual heterogeneity influence population viability, (b) metacommunity dynamics, (c) the effects of phenotypic plasticity on food web dynamics, and (d) the evolution of dispersal and predator-prey interactions. These projects use methods from dynamical systems, ergodic theory, and stochastic processes.
I am currently accepting graduate students through the Graduate Group in Applied Mathematics, the Ecology Graduate Group , and the Population Biology Graduate Group. Please contact me if interested.
I serve on the editorial boards of Ecology/Ecological Monographs, Journal of Biological Dynamics, Mathematical Medicine and Biology, and Theoretical Ecology.
