The Population Ecology of State Interest Communities study explores both why interest communities are structured the way they are and how that structure affects the political behavior of interest organizations. The study disentangles how interest groups arise, how they are maintained and how they fail. Using the population ecology framework, which includes models of niches, foraging and evolutionary survival, this project generates a four year census of interest groups in a sample of states, surveys a subsample of those interest group leaders and builds a life table of interest groups in different policy domains. Multivariate statistical techniques are used to analyze the extensive data collection. This project sheds light on why some interest groups succeed and why others fail, offering an explanation very different from that which is common to the political science discipline.

国家利益共同体的人口生态学研究探讨了利益共同体的结构以及这种结构如何影响利益组织的政治行为。 这项研究揭示了利益集团如何产生，如何维持以及如何失败。 使用人口生态学框架，其中包括模型的小生境，觅食和进化生存，该项目产生了一个为期四年的人口普查的利益集团在一个样本的国家，调查这些利益集团的领导人的子样本，并建立了一个生命表的利益集团在不同的政策领域。 多元统计技术被用来分析广泛的数据收集。 这个项目揭示了为什么一些利益集团成功，为什么其他人失败，提供了一个非常不同的解释，这是常见的政治科学学科。
