Marine community and food web ecology
I am broadly interested in nearshore marine ecosystems and species with a focus on community and food web ecology. I am intrigued by research questions at the interface of ecology, conservation, and management. I use a combination of observational and experimental techniques to understand the drivers of community structure and function, and the strength of interactions among species and ecosystems. I am also interested in how ecological patterns and drivers can be influenced by spatial and temporal scales. My research draws on both my classical (biology) and applied (fisheries) training to approach questions with the understanding that our world is an interconnected system with multiple valid and useful perspectives on structure, function, and what is “good”, “natural”, and “healthy”.
