Summary

My research focuses on the population and community ecology of freshwater fishes, investigating how stressors such as anthropogenic climate change affect freshwater processes (e.g., stream flows, temperatures, drying) and freshwater fish population and assemblage dynamics across a variety of aquatic ecosystems. This research bridges the gap between basic and applied fisheries ecology, integrating quantitative ecological analyses, spatial statistical methods, landscape ecology and conservation biology to address multiscale conservation and management issues driven by the needs of my cooperators. Recent projects have focused on wildfires in boreal stream ecosystems, impacts of hydrologic variability on materials transport and juvenile salmon growth in coastal rainforest watersheds, and the effects of an invasive predator on the persistence of native fishes.
