Long Citation (for publication and press release)
Dr. Edward McCauley is among the most productive and imaginative ecologists nationally and internationally, and is one of the few people who have undertaken groundbreaking research in both theoretical and empirical ecology. He has established mechanisms underlying the presence and absence of cycles in population size in several species, concentrating on zooplankton and algae as a model system. He has also developed models that provide the best predictions of the impacts of nutrient addition on the diversity and abundance of algae in lakes and has shown how the special characteristics of flowing water affect ecological interactions in streams and rivers.
