RESEARCH: My research and that of my students centers around fish ecology, impacts of habitat and environmental alterations, and biotic interactions -- especially in the stream environment. The main emphasis of this work has been in identifying physical and biotic factors that influence the ecological success of fishes at different spatial, temporal, and organizational scales and quantifying such relationships. This includes studies of population and production dynamics, habitat assessment and manipulation, food-web functions, density-dependent effects, and empirical and simulation modeling. In addition to many fish collection and population-estimating techniques, we've incorporated biotelemetry, global positioning systems, geographic information systems, stable isotope ratios, and computer software development into our research. The ultimate goal of this effort is to incorporate fish ecology into sound ecosystem and fisheries conservation and management.
