General research interests are in the processes that determine the dynamics and structure of populations and communities. Current research focuses on aquatic insects and wetland plants. Investigations are underway in the laboratory and in the field examining phenotypic plasticity in the life history characteristics of the phantom midge, Chaoborus, as well as using experimental and mathematical modeling approaches to understand the superior competitive ability of the invasive wetland grass, Phalaris arundinacea. Other ongoing topics of investigation are habitat selection and activity patterns of the riverine damselfly, Calopteryx maculata, and the clonal biology of pitcher plants (Sarracenia).
