Will Patterson

 

Will Patterson is a Marine Fisheries Ecologist in the School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences at the University of Florida. He and his students and colleagues do research under a variety of themes, including population dynamics, habitat utilization, trophic ecology, population connectivity, and invasive species. Often this research is focused on reef fishes, particularly exploited ones managed under fishery management plans. However, he has also worked on fishes from gobies to sharks and global regions from the tropics to the poles.
