Professor Dr. James Anderson

Biography

James Anderson is a Professor specializing in ecology with a focus on biological processes from a mechanistic perspective. His interests have led him to guide students in exploring a range of topics, including antigen levels in salmon, the ways fish pass dams to reach the ocean, predator foraging and decision processes in animals, as well as the neurology of swarming and various survival modeling techniques. His work involves fish restoration and strategies regarding water use in the Columbia and Sacramento River systems. This research is underpinned by a keen interest in understanding how ecological processes function, often expressing these processes mathematically.
