Research and Publications

William's UC Research Profile.

Fields of Research
  • I am fascinated by the consequences of interactions between plants and insects
  • I have worked extensively on the mutualism between yuccas and yucca moths
  • I strive to make connections between ecology, statistics, theory and evolution
  • I use mathematics to understand when we can make predictions in ecology
  • One component of this work is to determine if coevolution creates biodiversity
