Research Interests
My research is centered around the marine biological sciences pecializing in marine ecology. My research is
field-oriented, and my students spend considerable portion of their time collecting data in the field. Specifically,
my research interests focus on understanding the relative value of habitat for aquatic organisms emphasizing
marine and estuarine fishes. Much of this research is directed towards determining temporal and spatial
distributions of fishes as well as the causes and consequences of this habitat use in terms of age, growth,
and mortality. Recently, I have expanding my research to include otolith microchemistry, ecosystem-based
modeling, and examining the synergist habitat links in Caribbean coral reef systems.
Current active projects:
- The Role of Larval Supply and Post-Settlement Processes in Recruitment Variability of Southern Flounder Populations
- Catch and release mortality of spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus)
- The impact of boat propeller scars on marine fauna using seagrass meadows
- Fish and Invertebrate use of Oyster Reef
