Seminar Series: "The ecology of pathogen spillover, invasion, and persistence" by Dr. Peter Hudson

Dr. Peter Hudson is a world-renowned population ecologist and disease biologist who studies the ecology and evolution of infectious disease in free-living animal populations. 

Dr. Hudson's research has revealed the parasite-induced processes that drive population cycles and he has pioneered theories of host-natural enemy cycles and disease regulation by dilution effects. He is the Willaman Professor of Biology at Penn State University, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society (2008), an International Fellow of the Royal Society of Scotland (2010), a fellow of AAAS (2012), a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society (2024) and a Fellow of the British Ecological Society (2025).
