Research interests |
|
Much of my work revolves around the ecology of marine fish larvae. I use complementary approaches, including plankton collections, laboratory experiments, scientific diving, individual based models, and statistical computing, to search for characteristics of individual fish larvae (e.g. behavior & physiology) that can be used to predict characteristics of entire fish populations (e.g. geographic range & population connectivity). I am also involved in ecological studies of temperate marine invertebrates, as well as juvenile and adult coral reef fishes. |
