Our research program is at the interface between ecology and evolution, with the goal of understanding mechanisms that explain the maintenance of biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. We focus on the effects of historical and current anthropogenic stressors on the ecology and evolution of populations and communities, and how these interactions may feedback to influence aquatic ecosystem function.
