معرفی
Amy Krist is an Associate Professor in the Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming. With a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from Indiana University, she specializes in evolutionary ecology, focusing on invasive species, ecological stoichiometry, and population biology.
- Education: B.A. in Biology and History (SUNY Potsdam), Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (Indiana University)
- Courses: Invertebrate Zoology (Fall), Animal Biology (Spring)
Her research explores biological invasions (particularly Potamopyrgus antipodarum), ecological stoichiometry, and phosphorus limitation impacts on organismal traits, parasite dynamics, and freshwater communities. She investigates interactions between invasive snails and native ecosystems, nutrient constraints, and climate change effects on alpine lakes.
Recent publications highlight her work on Potamopyrgus invasion dynamics, phosphorus-driven physiological adaptations, and host-parasite interactions. Her studies span aquatic ecology, conservation biology, and evolutionary trade-offs.
