... Most of his research seeks populations, and the use of computer-intensive methods to to understand how organisms and ecological communities fit and compare stochastic models of wildlife population respond to novel environmental conditions created by human dynamics and animal movement. Of relevance to this comactivities with an emphasis on how organisms and ecologi- mittee, he has led research projects developing methods for cal systems respond directly and indirectly to changes in the quantifying marine mammal density, distribution, and trends acoustical environment.
