I study animal impacts on ecosystems, specifically freshwater mussels in North American streams.
My current research seeks to better understand freshwater mussel impacts on ecosystem function and services by combining in situ experiments studying denitrification in mussel beds with studies of mussel functional traits.
Research:
- Ecosystem function provisioning by freshwater mussels
- Emergent macrophytes and aquatic-terrestrial linkages at mussel beds
- Importance
