James Junker

James Junker is a Research Assistant Professor in Biological Sciences at the University of North Texas, specializing in aquatic ecosystem ecology. His research investigates energy/material cycles in food webs, spatiotemporal ecological patterns, and climate change impacts on biodiversity.

Methodologies include field studies, ecosystem experiments, and statistical modeling scaled from cellular to landscape levels. Recent work examines temperature effects on energy flux pathways and invasive species impacts on community size spectra in freshwater systems.
