Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Yeakel is an Omidyar Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute with 11 years of research experience probing how physical and biological constraints shape trophic interactions and long-term community dynamics. He combines theoretical metapopulation models, landscape ecology, and paleontological perspectives to study species interactions, community assembly/disassembly, and how landscape structure influences population dynamics. His work spans academic roles from PhD and lecturing at UC Santa Cruz to a postdoc at Simon Fraser University focused on river watershed fractal branching and salmonid life histories. Based in Santa Fe, he brings a quantitative, cross-scale approach that links ecological theory to empirical patterns across space and time, often leveraging interdisciplinary methods uncommon in traditional ecology.
