Jens Hegg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Gonzaga University. His work integrates ecology, geochemistry, and conservation biology to study migratory fish species.
- Education:
- Ph.D. from University of Idaho (2017)
- B.A. from Macalester College (2000)
Research focuses on fish migration using isotopic analysis of otoliths (ear stones) to reconstruct movement patterns and life history. His studies span Chinook salmon in the Pacific Northwest and Amazonian catfish/sawfish in Brazil, emphasizing environmental tracking and conservation implications.
Recent publications highlight innovations in otolith chemistry, data sonification, and trophic niche analysis across freshwater and marine ecosystems. Collaborative work with students like Breanna Graves and Carine G. Moraes demonstrates his commitment to mentorship.
