I'm a post-doc at the University of British Columbia in the Beaty Biodiversity Center. I'm interested in using computational approaches to answer ecological questions.

 comment How exactly are game theoretical evolutionary models described during implementation for computer simulations?
I'd say that as far as DSLs go, Logo is a DSL for individual based models, but most biologists can program in another language that's more flexible. Also both python (in scipy) and R have ODE solving capabilities so you don't have to use Madonna.

 comment Evolution of long necks in giraffes
Lol, yeah, that's awkwardly worded I suppose. I meant returned to the theory of competition as a topic of research :)

 comment Does a plant have to be alive for its roots to prevent erosion?
Here's a study that gets at this question, examining how root decay of felled trees impacts slope stability. springerlink.com/content/q328v49v72w14762
