      My research focuses on the ecology of coastal marine fish, their role in nearshore ecosystems, and the response of these ecosystems to environmental change and human impacts. Using a combination of field experiments and observations, along with laboratory analyses, my lab focuses on research questions that range from early life stages of fish to whole ecosystems, including:<\/p>\n

      (1)<\/strong> examination of early life history dynamics such as recruitment, selective mortality, and population linkages via larval dispersal;<\/p>\n

      (2)<\/strong> investigation of the causes and consequences of demographic and life history variation among fish populations; and<\/p>\n

      (3)<\/strong> evaluation of changes in the structure and function of kelp forest and coral reef communities associated with marine protection. We are motivated by a desire to provide fundamental insights to aid fisheries management and conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
