Welcome to the homepage for Dr. Dan Okamoto’s research group in the Department of Biological Science at Florida State University.
We study population dynamics with a focus on exploited species of importance to coastal communities. We are broadly interested in how environment and species interactions regulate fluctuations in population dynamics, physiology, and vital rates (i.e., recruitment and connectivity, metabolism, energy budgets, development, growth, reproduction & mortality), and how such information can lead to more robust, equitable, and just natural resource management. Our research integrates mathematical modeling, Bayesia
