Research Interests

I have broad interests in zooplankton ecology and behavior. What do plankton do?  How, why and when do they employ different behavioral strategies? How does the physical environment and morphology constrain behavior? How does risk shape life history traits? What are the implications of small scale individual (inter)actions for larger scale phenomena such as predator-prey interactions, population dynamics, community structure or pelagic flux?
