Complex Ecological and Evolutionary Systems

The Complex Ecological and Evolutionary Systems research group primarily develop mathematical and computational models to undestand the processes and mechanisms underlying a wide variety of biological systems. The sometimes over-whelming complexity of biological systems can often be broken down into its constituent parts and re-assembled using theoretical models and studied in ways that would otherwise be impossible. The coupling of experimental and field studies with modelling approaches opens up the potential to ask new and exciting questions about biological systems. A collaborative approach to science is central to much of the work conducted by the Complex Ecological and Evolutionary Systems research group.
