A
note to prospective students and postdocs:
Projects in my lab can include a broad array of topics in the areas of theoretical population, community, and evolutionary ecology. A primary focus is the application of this ecological theory to conservation management, particularly (but not exclusively) in marine systems. For more details on current research topics, please visit the research page of this site. With respect to graduate student projects, students will probably construct primarily theoretical theses (i.e., using mathematical modeling and computer simulations), but I encourage having at least one empirical project to help better understand the application of theory. Lab members at all stages will likely find themselves using similar quantitative tools to address a variety of ecological questions in an array of different systems. A collaborative attitude and atmosphere where all lab members share ideas across this variation is a vital part of the lab dynamic.
If you are considering applying to the lab, please email me (mlbaskett(at)ucdavis.edu) with a CV and brief description of your research interests. For prospective graduate students, note that I am accepting students through the Graduate Group in Ecology and the Population Biology Graduate Group.
