Scholarly Activity
Studying the effects of hypoxia on feeding rates and postprandial behavior of the commercially important crab, Cancer magister (Dungeness crab) on Vancouver Island.
Conducted invertebrate species inventories of rivers and lakes in Florida for the purpose of looking at water quality and the impacts of habitat restoration activities.
Research work includes working with invasive aquatic snails, Pomacea maculata and Pomacea canaliculata. This work included basic physiological parameters as well as feeding, distribution, impact on the native apple snail P. paludosa, and management strategies.
