have worked at the Arthur R. Marshall,
Jr., Ecological Sciences Laboratory doing research on
theoretical population biology since 2001. Publications are shown
below. They include research on adaptation in source-sink systems (Holt
et al. 2003, 2004a, 2004b, 2005; Holt and Barfield 2008, 2009b),
infectious disease ecology (Orive et al. 2005; Holt and Barfield 2006),
effects of temporal variation on populations (Holt and Barfield 2003;
Holt et al. 2003, 2004b; Roy et al. 2005), evolution (Filin et al.
2008; Knight et al. 2008; Barfield et al. 2011) and arctic lake ecology (O'Brien et al. 2004,
2005). |

Publications
at the Ecological Sciences Lab
Evolution
in stage-structured
populations. Genetics,
adaptation, and
invasion in harsh environments. Metapopulation
perspectives on the evolution of species’ niches. Trophic
interactions
and range limits: The diverse roles of predation. Predator
shadows: Complex life
histories as generators of spatially patterned indirect interactions
across ecosystems. Habitat
selection and niche conservatism. Evolutionary
dynamics
as a
component of stage-structured matrix models: An example using Trillium
grandiflorum. The relation
of
density
regulation to habitat specialization, evolution of a species' range,
and the dynamics of
biological invasions. Within-host
pathogen dynamics: Some ecological and evolutionary
consequences of transients,
dispersal mode, and within-host spatial heterogeneity. Temporal
autocorrelation can enhance the persistence and abundance of
metapopulations
comprised of coupled sinks. Theories
of
niche conservatism and
evolution: Could exotic species be potential tests? Long-term
response and
recovery of a partitioned arctic
lake to nutrient addition. Viral
infection in
internally-structured hosts. I.
Conditions for persistent infection. Temporal
variation
can facilitate
niche evolution in
harsh sink environments. Physical,
chemical, and biotic impacts on
arctic zooplankton communities and diversity. Allee
effects,
immigration, and the evolution of species’ niches. Impacts of
environmental
variability in open populations and communities:
“Inflation” in
sink environments. Impacts of
temporal variation on apparent competition and
coexistence in open
ecosystems. The
phenomenology of
niche evolution via quantitative traits in a 'black-hole' sink. |

Prior Biology Publications The
functional
response of drift-feeding arctic grayling: The effects of prey density,
water
velocity and location efficiency. On
the
relationship between the ideal free
distribution and the evolution of dispersal. The effects
