Dan Barton

Dan Barton is an Associate Professor at Humboldt State University and serves as adviser and principal investigator for research in the lab. The current unifying theme of the lab, other than the vague notion of quantitative population ecology, is applied trophic interactions. Dan is a keen appreciator of birds, mark-recapture methodologies and estimators, and both inductive and strong-inference approaches to science. He completed his PhD at the University of Montana in 2012, and his Bachelor of Science at the Evergreen State College in 2001. He's excited about working with students that either have a strong understanding of natural history but want to develop their quantitative skills, or students that have strong quantitative skills and want to apply them to real-world conservation or basic problems grounded in natural history.
