I study the ecology, evolution, and conservation of aquatic ecosystems.  Work in my group mixes field studies with large-scale spatial analyses and data syntheses.  Focusing on fish and invertebrates, we try to understand the interface between animals and ecosystems in the context of human activities--what happens to rivers and lakes when their animal diversity is reduced, and what happens to animals when the chemistry and structure of their home ecosystem is altered.  Our research focuses on the Adirondack Mountains, Great Lakes of North America and Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Africa, and Hawaii.  Our goal is to leverage insights from ecological research to improve the management of fisheries and aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
