Daniel Wieczynski Ph.D Candidate Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Yale University Dan’s Website Curriculum Vitae

My work is broadly focused on using mathematical models and laboratory experiments to try to understand some of the ways in which eco-evolutionary processes develop and maintain variation both among and within species. For my doctoral dissertation I’m exploring how environmental dynamics (particularly environmental noise) interact with endogenous processes like negative density dependence and competition to produce the assemblages we observe across space and time. My experimental systems are microbial and have included viruses, algae, and protozoa.
