Bruce is an ecological theoretician and modeler who applies population ecology to problems in conservation and fisheries management.

The mission of our research group is to reveal the role of infectious diseases in ecosystems. We investigate parasite ecology, disease ecology, food web dynamics, ecology and evolution of infectious strategies, and control of human parasites.

Physical Oceanography

Pulver's research focuses broadly on the intersection of economic action and environmental harm and seeks to integrate theoretical frameworks related to global governance, organizational theory, and economic and environmental sociology.

Population and community ecology, marine ecology.

Developmental genetics and morphogenesis of the primitive chordate Ciona.

Ecology and evolution of marine sponges

Our lab studies the microbial and viral ecology of marine and terrestrial species. We use a variety of high tech approaches such as genomics and informatics to discover and understand how bacteria and viruses both positively and negatively interact with their hosts. Much of our work is focused on how these interactions are altered under anthropogenic stress and how they may lead to reduced host and ecosystem resilience. We also conduct work specifically on marine conservation, aiming to better evaluate the unseen biodiversity of marine systems and to identify innovative solutions to the global declines of key marine species.

Structure-properties relationships in loadbearing marine biomolecular materials, e.g. from mussels, squid and whelks, at different length and time scales to design new materials.
