Bruce Kendall | Faculty Advisor
Bruce Kendall's research in population dynamics involves modeling and analysis of abundance and demographic data. . His specific research interests include: processes that cause population abundances
to fluctuate over time; predicting the extinction risk of rare species; patterns of individual growth in fluctuating environments and how they affect population growth rates; and the effects of current-driven dispersal on marine fish species.
