Region: Central and Arctic
Office: Bayfield Institute
Field(s) of Research:
- Aquatic Invasive Species
- Limnology / Freshwater ecology
Research Description:
My research interests include addressing a wide variety of questions pertaining to aquatic invasions in the Great Lakes and the Arctic, particularly with respect to zooplankton invaders, vectors and pathways of introduction, and strategies to prevent introductions. I am particularly interested in exploring the relationship between population density and invasion success. Potential graduate students or post-docs with an interest in applied invasion biology should contact me to explore opportunities to work/study in my lab.
