Currie, David - University of Ottawa

研究领域

The goals of Dr. Currie’s research program are: 1) to identify broad-scale patterns in the distribution, abundance and diversity of life; 2) to determine which environmental variables exert the strongest control on those patterns, and 3) to determine how human activities influence them. Recent research focuses on influences of climate, habitat conversion and pesticide use on these properties of natural systems.
