Specific Interests

Research in my lab explores how biotic interactions, resource availability, and anthropogenic disturbances interact to influence the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. My students and I combine laboratory, observational, and experimental studies to address several major themes:

• Metacommunity dynamics
• Ecology of invasive species
• Zooplankton community structure
• Ecology and management of cyanobacterial blooms
• Wetland ecology and management
• Water quality and reservoir management
