Keywords: Diadromy, otoliths, fisheries, watershed ecology, systems ecology, ecosystem science, ecological economics

Organisms: Diadromous and coastal marine fishes

Locations: Hudson River Estuary, Baltic Sea, Oswego River drainage basin, Lake Ontario

Description: I study the ecology of diadromous fishes, generally in their native ranges. Invasive species are of interest insofar as they affect the former. I have also investigated the role of one invasive species (zebra mussel) in generating ecosystem services and dis-services in Lake Ontario (manuscript in preparation).
