Expertise

My research focuses on marine ecosystem responses; understanding relationships between organisms and their environment and specific biological and physiological responses to environmental change.  In particular, I am interested in the mechanisms by which anthropogenic-driven perturbations affect coastal habitats and species. I give special focus to commercially important coastal bivalves, horseshoe crabs, manatees and dolphins.
