Research interests:
I am interested in general ecology and the evolutionary ecology of planktonic animals and fish, at the individual, population, and community levels. Currently, I am primarily focused on explaining the reasons why ectothermic animals are smaller at elevated environmental temperatures. I am also investigating the shape of the functional response for planktivorous fish and how this shape depends on the experimental conditions under which it is determined. Additionally, I am involved in several projects examining the impact of invasive fish species on co-occurring native species, as well as the effects of microplastics, chemicals associated with so-called chemical weapons, and artificial light at night on the ecology of aquatic animals. Another project I am participating in investigates the effect of temperature on the learning rate of fish.
