Dr. Pamela Rueda Cediel, Postdoctoral fellows

I am a quantitative ecologist with experience in multivariate statistics and the development of demographic models applied to the management of invasive species and the conservation of species facing anthropogenic-driven declines. As an ecologist, I am interested in addressing current global conservation issues (e.g., invasive species, chemical contaminants, biodiversity loss and climate change) by understanding population dynamics and applying that knowledge either in the application of sustainable agricultural practices or in the conservation of wild species, both in the face of climate change. Currently, I am optimizing management strategies for the invasive Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Specifically, I parameterize computer simulations with empirical data and mathematical functions evaluate the best timing to treat the pest and avoid outbreaks.
