   Lev Ginzburg started Applied Biomathematics, a private research and software firm
   in East Setauket, New York, in 1982. Applied Biomathematics focuses on
   ecology, health, and engineering. The company is principally funded by research
   grants and contracts from the U.S. government and private industry . Dr.
   Ginzburg's work in risk analysis and applied ecology has been conducted at
   Applied Biomathematics in collaboration with Dr. Scott Ferson and Dr. Resit
   Akcakaya, who are now professors, respectively, at the University of Liverpool,
   UK, and Stony Brook University, New York, USA.

   Dr. Ginzburg's most known academic work (most of it at Stony Brook University,
   1977-2015) is a theory of predation (the ratio-dependent or Arditi-Ginzburg
   equations) that is an alternative to the classic prey-dependent Lotka-Volterra
   and MacArthur-Rosenzweig models. His book with Roger Arditi, How Species
   Interact, summarizes their proposed alteration of the standard view. The recent
   editions of the standard college Ecology textbook devote equal space to the
   Lotka-Volterra and Arditi-Ginzburg equations. Next in recognition has been the
   idea of inertial growth or an explanation of population cycles, based upon
   maternal effect model, the main point of the book with Mark Colyvan, Ecological
   Orbits and a more recent paper co-authored with Charley Krebs. One of Dr.
   Ginzburg's current interests is an evolutionary theory of non-adaptive selection
   (selective disappearance of unstable configurations). A book in progress
   (Nonadaptive Selection: an evolutionary source of ecological laws, joint with
   John Damuth) is about to be published in 2020.


   A 2018 study published in Nature: Ecology & Evolution has listed the Drs.
   Ginzburg and Jensen 2004 paper as one of the 100 must read in the
   history of Ecology, a selection out of half a million papers since Darwin.
