Nathan Dees

ndees@wustl.edu

Nate defended his doctoral disseratation in March 2009 and is currently working at the Genome Center at Washington University.

In addition to studies of neural synchronization in BOLD-fMRI imaging, Nate's thesis reserach involved the development of computational models of species evolution and optimal animal foraging behavior. His papers on foraging and evolution include:

• Dees, N. D., Hofmann, M. and Bahar, S. Physical constraints and the evolution of different foraging strategies in aquatic space. Animal Behavior, in press.
• Dees, N. D., Bahar, S. and Moss, F. Stochastic resonance and the evolution of Daphnia foraging strategy. Physical Biology 5(4):44001, 2008.
• Dees, N. D., Bahar, S., Garcia, R. and Moss, F. Patch Exploitation in Two Dimensions: From Daphnia to Simulated Foragers. Journal of Theoretical Biology. 252:69-76, 2008.
