The Bewick Lab is broadly interested in population and community ecology. We use a combination of fieldwork, lab work, computer simulation and theory to study patterns in biological organization, from microbes through to vertebrates. Although we are not partial to specific systems, we are most excited about projects that lie at the interface between microscopic and macroscopic worlds. Thus, much of our work focuses on understanding the interplay between host ecology and host-associated microbiomes - an area where recent advances in sequencing technology enable both unprecedented empirical studies and novel ecological theory.
