Dennis DeVries

Dennis DeVries serves as Alumni Professor and Assistant Director for Research Programs at Auburn University's College of Agriculture, specializing in fisheries ecology and aquatic sciences. His research examines fish migration, habitat fragmentation, and conservation strategies in southeastern US river systems.

DeVries' recent publications focus on thermal adaptation in fish, migration barriers, and hydroelectric infrastructure impacts. His 2023-2025 studies reveal critical insights into paddlefish physiology and dam passage efficiency, while earlier work established frameworks for metapopulation management in fragmented aquatic ecosystems.
