LAB OVERVIEW
Expertise: Our
lab offers world-class expertise in food web interactions, fisheries
management, limnology,
reservoir ecology, bioenergetics, population dynamics. We employ an
eclectic approach utilizing field studies,
laboratory experiments, and computer modeling, and state of the art
techniques such as hydroacoustics, stable isotope
analysis, and otolith microchemistry.
Partnerships: We collaborate with managers and researchers from federal,
state and local agencies and
the private sector.
Mentoring:
Undergraduate and graduate students are trained as scientists and gain valuable
field and laboratory skills,
studying a wide variety of ecological problems, while working in close
association with agency collaborators.
Education:
We offer courses in fish biology and
fishery science for college credit as well as continuing
education workshops for professional development.
Recent Work: Predator-prey relationships among native and nonnative
fishes, tracking the origins of
illicitly stocked fishes, the effects of nitrogen deposition in alpine lakes,
impacts of dam operations on
reservoir food webs, and the effects of sport fishery harvest regulations and
stocking.
