Education & Professional History

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

John Berini is an ecologist interested in how anthropogenically driven environmental change influences the interactions that organisms have with other members of their ecological community, and how these interactions influence behavior and demographics. His current work involves looking at how landscape heterogeneity (logging, forest structure, lake morphology, temperature, precipitation, etc.) influences spatially explicit host-parasite interactions in copepods, threespine stickleback, and common loons on Vancouver Island, British Columbia and how summer temperatures influence feeding, movement, and winter survival of moose in Minnesota.
