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
