Aquatic Ecology
Linking aquatic environments to the organisms they support.
Trophic Ecology
Tracing energy flows and functional roles through freshwater food webs.
Community Ecology
Exploring how fishes interact, coexist, and respond to change.
Research Areas
Non-native predators
Researching how non-native predators alter lake food webs, shift native fish distributions, change resource use, and reshape community interactions with consequences for ecosystem resilience
Trophic Diversity
Small fishes comprise an important component of native biodiversity. We explore trophic diversity, niche size, and community associations of native mesopredators.
Fish Habitat Use with Otolith Microchemistry
Use of otolith microchemistry to examine both dispersal in invasive lionfish in the Caribbean and thermal habitat partitioning in temperate lake fish
Food Web Landcapes
Combining stable isotope and community data to understand the flow of energy within communities.
