DEPARTMENT OF

John D. Reeve

Associate Professor
Office: 355F Life Science II
Phone: 618-453-6670
email: jreeve@zoology.siu.edu

Education: Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara

Courses taught: ZOOL 557 (Biostatistics), ZOOL 558 (Advanced Biostatistics)

Areas of interest: Predator-Prey Systems, Biological Control, Quantitative Ecology

My research has focused on predator-prey systems, including the origin of cycles in these systems, augmentative biological control, and how dispersal influences predator-prey dynamics. I also have interests in statistical and quantitative ecology.

For more information on my research program, please see my lab webpage.
