Research:
My research is focused on the ecology of estuarine fishes and crustaceans, particularly those of importance for recreational or commercial fisheries. My dissertation work is aimed at understanding habitat use and environmental conditions that shape populations of penaeid shrimp, their predators, and estuarine nekton communities in the southeastern United States.
