Professor Andrew P. Dobson is my guest on episode 28 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Andy’s research focuses on the role that infectious diseases play in the dynamics of wild animal and plant populations and how this modifies the structure of food webs. Thinking about how to develop mathematical models for these problems takes him to Serengeti, Yellowstone, Panama, and along the coast of California. He also works on assorted problems in conservation biology and models for animal social systems and how these interact with the dynamics of different pathogens. This work is based on the wolf population in Yellowstone but gains insights from the lion studies in Serengeti and a long-term fascination with primate social systems. Andy has published and edited several books: “Conservation and Biodiversity”, “Population Dynamics of Diseases in Natural Populations”, and “Unsolved Problems in Ecology.” He has been an external Faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute since 2011.
Increasingly his time there will be spent writing a series of books that provide introductions to the scientific systems he has studied: “Serengeti Lives”, “Parasite Lives”, “Yellowstone Lives”. He is part of the SFI “Arrow of Time” working group that is examining “Timescales and Immunity”.
