Fields of Research
Competence
Aquatic
ecology, fish ecology, basic and applied fish biology, limnology, food web dynamics,
life history modeling. My current
research follows three basic themes:
1. Understanding
how bioenergetics and various life history characteristics of fishes and other
ectotherms vary along environmental gradients to affect population dynamics and
community interactions in lakes and rivers.

webs: effects of omnivorous fish and watersheds on reservoir ecosystems. BioScience 55:155-167.
2. Determining
the relative impact of abiotic and biotic characteristics of aquatic systems on
the movement and spatial distribution of fishes through effects on physiology
and biotic interactions.

allometric scaling, predation and ration affect size-dependent growth and
mortality of fish during winter. Ecology 85(10):2860-2871.
3. Exploring
the impact of spatial scale on species interactions, with particular relevance
to the invasion potential of exotic species.

distributions of native and exotic crayfishes. Ecology 84(12): 3339-3348.
