Evolutionary ecology and biogeography of freshwater fishes. My main research interests are focused on using GIS techniques and field based research to understand the historical and contemporary factors regulating freshwater fish assemblages across multiple spatial scales. |
|
Alison’s research focused on the responses of native freshwater assemblages to non-native introductions across multiple spatial scales. |

Amy Luxbacher (2005-2007) M.S., University of Colorado |
|
Daryl examined regional and local factors regulating pond breeding amphibian diversity in Missouri. |
|
Daryl Trumbo (2007-2009) M.S., Saint Louis University |
|
Sophia is a PhD student who received her M.Phil. from the University of Hong Kong studying the hydroecology of tropical streams. Her PhD work focuses on how macroinvertebrate and fish assemblages as well as food webs in stream ecosystems are associated with natural variability in flow regimes. |
