The research interests of the lab are broad, including disease ecology, ecotoxicology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, animal behavior, phenotypic plasticity, and predator-prey communication. Systems of interest include wetlands, lakes, and streams. Experimental venues range from lab studies to mesocosms to in situ experiments. Leer más.
