Nicholas Sutton

Nicholas Sutton serves as a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor of Biology within the Department of Biology at the College of William & Mary's Faculty of Arts & Sciences, a position he assumed in 2025. His academic trajectory includes a Visiting Assistant Professorship at Grinnell College (2024-2025) and postdoctoral research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2022-2023).

His academic credentials are as follows:

• B.S. in Integrative Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015
• Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2022

Dr. Sutton's research program centers on predator-prey dynamics through the lens of information ecology and mathematical modeling, with specific emphasis on how hormonal physiology modulates risk perception and decision-making in wildlife populations. This interdisciplinary work bridges behavioral ecology, endocrinology, and quantitative methods to decode animal responses to environmental threats. His teaching portfolio directly reflects these research themes through Animal Behavior and Conservation Biology courses that integrate theoretical frameworks with empirical case studies.
