Jennifer Dunne is an American ecologist whose research focuses on the network structure of food webs. [1][2] One of 14 scientists who led critical advances in food web research over the last century, [3] according to the journal Food Webs, Dunne uses ecological network research to compare the varying ways humans interact with other species through space and time, providing a quantitative perspective on sustainability of socio-ecological systems. Her 2016 paper (with co-authors) on "The roles and impacts of human hunter-gatherers in North Pacific marine food webs" presented the first quantitative, highly-detailed network structure of an ecological food web that included humans.[4]
