Anthony Dell's Lab fuses metabolic ecology, movement ecology, and community ecology to address basic and applied questions in biology.
We work towards a fuller understanding of ecological systems across scales, including time, space, and levels of biological organization. We have a growing interest in how the movement and behavior of organisms influence species interactions, and the role of the physical environment. Our work also explores how humans interact with, and are affected by, the natural world, with the goal of producing science that can inform management and policy.
Our lab is based at NGRREC, a state-of-the-art field station in Alton, IL, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River.
