I study changes to the diversity of life in aquatic systems due to invasions and local extinctions. The overarching goal of my research is to improve our ability to predict the risks and consequences of invasions and extinctions. I generally take a bottom up mechanistic approach, determining the role of behavior, physiology, and morphology at the individual level for establishing patterns and processes at the population and community scales. I use a variety of approaches, including field observations, field and laboratory experiments, physiological measurements, and computer simulation modeling. |

Important notice for potential students: I am always on the lookout for good students to join my lab. I encourage you to e-mail me if you are interested in pursuing graduate training in my lab. I generally accept students that already have substantial research experience (i.e., either already have a master's degree or have substantial experience as a research technician). |
