Research
My research interests are in the area of aquatic biology. I have two ongoing projects; one uses macroinvertebrate communities to assess stream health at water quality monitoring stations the other is examining commensalism between madtom catfish and the mussels whose shells the madtoms use as shelter. Recent fisheries projects have focused on life history characteristics of White Bass and Yellow Bass in Barren River Lake. I am also interested in how anthropogenic changes to the environment and the introduction of species affect native stream communities.
