Wildlife Ecology in a Rapidly Changing World
Thanks for stopping by our page!
Work in the Freshwater Conservation Ecology Lab is broadly aimed at understanding how species tied to freshwater ecosystems respond to the environmental change. A common theme in all our work is to answer questions that advance our understanding of species ecology and inform wildlife management. Our goals is to produce objective information that can be used to inform policy and on-the-ground actions that affect wildlife and the specific resources they depend on.

SOME OF OUR PROJECTS
Aquatic insects, mussels, amphibians, and alligators are different in many ways - but they all depend on freshwater to complete their life cycle and can play important ecological roles in the systems they inhabit. We are working to understand how they interact with their environment in order to help conserve their populations and the functions they provide.
