Welcome
to the Kerr Lab at the University of washington. We use a combination
of mathematical analysis, computer simulation, and laboratory
experiments with microbes to explore theoretical and empirical
angles on topics in ecology, evolutionary biology, and the philosophy
of biology. Some areas that interest us currently include:
* The evolution of cooperation
* The evolutionary role of niche construction
* The role of population structure in ecosystems
* Phenotypic plasticity, learning and information processing
* The levels of selection controversy
