Ecology and Conservation

Population biology

Population biology examines the dynamics of populations and the factors influencing population growth, such as resource availability, predation, and competition. By studying population size, structure, and distribution, our research reveals insights into species' responses to environmental changes and human impacts. This field employs mathematical models and empirical studies to understand population processes, informing conservation strategies, management decisions, and our broader understanding of ecosystems and biodiversity.
