Research interests
The effects of anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem function. Specifically, I am interested in the causative pathways by which human-induced environmental changes affect the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems. In many cases, these pathways include parasites as integral components, through which environmental impacts are mediated.
