 Welcome to my web site
I am an aquatic ecologist and associate
professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse (UW-L), La
Crosse, WI 54601. I am also a member of the UW-L River Studies
Center.
My courses include: Freshwater Invertebrate Zoology, Stream and Watershed Ecology, General Biology, and Animal Biology (laboratory
instructor). I am also developing a new graduate course (Spring 2003) titled the Life History: Evolution and Ecology.
My research interests include freshwater ecosystems, the biology of benthic invertebrates and fish,
and landscape ecology. My primary research examines the behavioral ecology of benthic macroinvertebrates. I am also interested in how landscape change affects the connectivity of
freshwater ecosystems and the biological consequences of nonpoint source pollution.
Current research projects are underway in Myrick Marsh (an urban palustrine ecosystem), the Coon
Creek Watershed, and the Upper Mississippi River.
