As a quantitative ecologist, Jason's research interests and expertise focus on the development and application of mathematical models that help make sense of ecological data, be it population, demographic, behavioural, or physiological, with broad applications to research into wildlife conservation, natural resource management and risk assessment. In an engaging 30 minute lecture, Jason describes what and how ecological scholarship can deliver, outlining what he considers to be the seven key challenges to predictive ecology.
