Main profile

Bill is broadly interested in the economy of nature and in insights about human-environment interactions from different fields. His graduate research, at the University of New Mexico, examined how metabolic constraints affect ecological interaction rates in small ectotherms, foraging patterns in seed-harvester ants, and macroecological patterns in traditional and industrial human societies.
