Postdoctoral Fellow in Ecology and Evolution, Biology

Education & Professional History

University of Minnesota, BSc; University of Michigan, MSc; University of Minnesota, PhD

John Berini is a landscape ecologist interested in how environmental variability influences the interactions that organisms have with other members of their ecological community, and how these interactions influence organismal behavior and demographics. His current work involves looking at how landscape heterogeneity influences spatially explicit host-parasite interactions in threespine stickleback and common loons and how feeding and movement behavior in moose during summer influences probability of overwinter survival.


At Carleton since 2019.
