Research Interests:
Marine invertebrate larval ecology: larval behavior in flow, vertical distribution of larvae, larval transport, impacts of climate change on larval interactions and processes
Deep-sea ecology: Developmental, larval, & community ecology at hydrothermal vents & cold seeps
Developmental ecology: microbial-invertebrate interactions, induction of metamorphosis, developmental transcriptomics, larval stress and latent effects
Community dynamics: Pre- and post-settlement factors affecting recruitment, physiological ecology, reproductive biology
