My research emphasizes integration of toxicology with fish ecology.
Current research involves incorporating dose-response relationships with bioenergetics models.
This research relies heavily on use of mechanistic computer models and I am studying applications of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for model evaluation. Other research activities include using an individual-based model to evaluate relative importance of natural and managed processes on recruitment of Colorado squawfish, and ecological risk assessment of effects of pesticide applications on endangered fishes. The seminar focuses on recent innovations that facilitate the interface of ecological principles with toxicological and environmental studies. Departmental Service I serve as Coordinator of the Aquatic Research Laboratory for the Department of Fishery and Wildlife Biology. I am responsible for keeping laboratory facilities in compliance with Animal Care and Use Committee guidelines and coordinating research activities by multiple users.
