THE fryxell LAB

Movement and food web dynamics across a heterogeneous landscape.

Herbivore behaviour
Behavioural responses in relation to predation risk and spatial and temporal variation in the quantity and nutritional quality of vegetation.

Movement Patterns In Serengeti
Adaptive herbivore movement in relation to seasonal variation in resource availability.

Group dynamics and predation risk
Predation risk for herbivores is strongly shaped by the size of herbivore groups and by the size of groups of their predators, with surprising consequences.

Serengeti biodiversity
Documenting how biodiversity in the Serengeti varies across different habitats and over time.

Spatio-temporal foodweb dynamics
Seasonal and spatial variation in resources and its effect on ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, and carnivores.
