Research Interest
My research program can be defined as ‘ecological physiology’ as I integrate laboratory and field studies to determine the ecological and physiological mechanisms that control abundance and distribution in freshwater aquatic organisms. While my research is grounded in basic biology, many of my projects work to generate novel conservation strategies to protect freshwater ecosystems. Freshwater fishes are an ideal model system for this research because their diversity and abundance provides me with opportunity to examine these issues while considering evolutionary and trophic relationships. Recently, research that I have performed has lead to several fisheries conservation applications including changes to angling tournament procedures and advances in freshwater protected areas.
