William Nelson

William Nelson is a Professor of Population Ecology in the Department of Biology at Queen's University. His research focuses on the interaction between individual-scale life histories and population/community dynamics, addressing phenomena like insect outbreak cycles and eco-evolutionary processes. He combines mathematical modeling, laboratory experiments, and field-based mesocosm studies in invertebrate systems such as freshwater zooplankton and tortrix moths.

Teaching emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to biological problems, covering topics like biostatistics and connections across ecological scales. His lab website details ongoing projects and experimental methodologies.
