Joseph R Benjamin

I am a Research Biologist at the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center in Boise, Idaho. My research provides natural resource managers with tools to make more informed decisions regarding the conservation of species and ecosystems.

My team works closely with cooperators to develop ecological models and decision-support tools that meet the needs of decision makers.  We develop ecological models that integrate population dynamics, trophic interactions, and environmental variation at multiple scales to improve our understanding of ecosystem dynamics, including impacts of disturbances.  Our decision-support models are used to explore management options for aquatic and terrestrial species and landscapes.
