John Timothy Wootton's research focuses on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of interactions among organisms. His work centers on multi-species systems, evaluating methods to predict how these systems respond to environmental change, particularly regarding the current epidemic of species extinctions and introductions occurring worldwide due to global changes and ocean acidification. He has conducted research on a wide variety of subjects and retains active research interests in the role of ecological factors in the evolution of life history and mating systems, as well as population viability models for endangered species. His work includes systems studies across a range of taxa and seeks to develop and test theoretical questions using field experiments, large-scale species introductions, and between-system comparisons. Currently, he focuses on rocky intertidal marine communities, particularly around Tatoosh Island, Washington, and rivers, serving as model experimental systems for ecology.
