Jedediah Brodie Assistant professor of Conservation Ecology [starting Fall 2012] Biodiversity Research Centre Departments of Zoology and Botany University of British Columbia, Vancouver Other affiliations I primarily study the ecology, evolution, and conservation of mammals and plant-animal interactions such as zoochorous seed dispersal. Most of my work is in tropical forests, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. Yet I also strive to explore as many parts of the world as I can; this helps place the
findings of specific studies into a broader "biogeographic context". To
this end I have explored six continents and done field work in
ecosystems ranging from the Alaskan tundra to the rainforests of Borneo
and the deserts of southern Africa. I am interested in how "bushmeat" hunting, climate change, logging, and other anthropogenic stressors affect wildlife populations, forest dynamics, and species interactions. I do both basic ecological research and applied conservation.   |
