Jeffery Priddy

Priddy, Jeffery

My research work at the Duke Marine Lab has been in the areas of modeling, programming, and data analysis. I’ve worked for several years on an individual-based, spatially-explicit simulation model of the red-cockaded woodpecker. We’ve used the model for population viability analysis, the study of populations on real landscapes, and created model responses to habitat quality and inbreeding depression.

In other work, I analyzed NMFS data to look at the spatial relationship between sea turtles and shrimping effort in the Gulf of Mexico. I also began work on a spatially- explicit source/sink model of reef habitat to test fishing effects and the siting of marine reserves.
