Biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ecology and evolution are foundational areas in biology, and their importance is increasingly recognized in many aspects of human health and general welfare. Understanding ecology is essential for conservation, natural resource management, understanding disease epidemics, and agriculture. Knowledge of evolution is increasingly recognized as important for controlling and understanding disease. More generally, both ecology and evolution inform our understanding of the breadth and origins of life’s magnificent diversity. In my courses I seek to convey both the fascination and practical values of these fields. My teaching in anatomy and physiology builds in these themes, with particular emphasis on how an understanding of comparative anatomy and physiology can help us better understand ourselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am an ichthyologist with interests in ecology, evolution, physiology, and conservation. Students working with me do conventional microscopy, MicroCT scanning and analysis, detailed anatomy and anatomical modeling, computer modeling, 3D printing, field collection of habitat quality data, DNA extraction and sequencing, and assessment of fish population distribution and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My primary study systems are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
