Biography

Dan Warren is a population biologist with broad interests in ecology, evolution, and animal behaviour. Much of his research involves the development of species distribution models to address basic scientific questions about biological processes, and models for biodiversity conservation and reserve management. Dan’s aim is to advance our understanding of both the origins of biodiversity and the strategies needed to maintain it, while at the same time creating the quantitative tools that other investigators will use to pursue their own research. Several of the analytical methods he has developed have become standard approaches in the field.
