Professor
My research focuses on how fish populations respond to anthropogenic impacts. Specifically, I am interested in the responses of native fishes to harvest, invasive species and habitat alterations. Most of my research focuses on commercially or ecologically important species in lotic (flowing) water system.
Professor
My research focuses on biodiversity and trophic interactions in stream environments. Particularly I am interested in the interactions of fish, macroinvertabrate communities, and the biogeochemical cycles that affect stream ecosytems.
Staff
I am an alumnus of EIU's Biological Science Department and the Center for Fisheries and recently re-joined as the lead staff researcher. I have a variety of research interests and roles in the center including larval fish ecology, and fish community assessments using long-term standardized methodologies.
