Panama Research Interests Trophic interactions, predator-prey ecological interactions, ecology of fish.
Current investigations focus on the conditions that drive lakes to dystrophy or eutrophy.
Our study lakes are located on the property of the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In addition to St. Norbert College, and the Center for Limnology, the Institute of Ecosystem Study is involved in this study. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and includes undergraduate researchers. Additionally, I have general interests in tropical biology and mammalian ecology.
