WELCOMEGreetings! I am an Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Clemson University and my research is largely focused on the ecology of freshwater species. I work with a diverse community of colleagues and students to understand how organisms respond to global change at the individual and population level.

Wildlife Ecology in A Rapidly Changing WorldA fundamental goal of all our research is to provide conservation practitioners with objective information that can be used in decision making. Understanding how species interact with their environment is necessary to predict how they will respond to future scenarios and can directly inform strategies to address today's conservation challenges.

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.
