TYLER J. GRANT

I am a quantitative ecologist.  I develop and advance methods in population ecology, with applications to movement ecology, behaviorial ecology, landscape ecology, and conservation biology.  My most recent research involves agent-based modeling and Bayesian state-space statistical modeling.  I developed an agent-based model to simulate monarch butterfly movement and egg-laying at landscape scales incorporating behavioral factors.  My Bayesian state-space model estimates survival probabilities from field counts of arthropod larval stages.  My research objective is to develop and advance methods to effectively and rigorously answer the conservation and management problems facing society in the 21st century.
