معرفی
Jessica Beyer, Ph.D., is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma's School of Biological Sciences, Department of Biology. Her work focuses on the impacts of environmental changes on aquatic ecosystems, particularly harmful algal blooms, invasive species, and cyanobacteria-microbiome interactions. She employs experimental, observational, and genomic approaches to study these dynamics.
- Education: Ph.D., University of Oklahoma; B.A., Lawrence University
Her research interests include anthropogenic environmental changes, eutrophication, and climate effects on aquatic communities. She has extensively studied Prymnesium parvum, Microcystis, and invasive species like zebra mussels and Daphnia lumholtzi. Recent work explores cyanobacteria's microbiome role in bloom formation.
Publications highlight innovations in cyanobacteria monitoring (e.g., ground-based sensors) and genomic insights into species diversity. Her work bridges basic ecological understanding with applied water quality challenges.
- Awards: None explicitly listed.
Grants and advising details are not specified in provided texts. She collaborates on projects involving freshwater lakes, toxic algae, and invasive species impacts.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the OU Department of Biology and School of Biological Sciences research groups focusing on aquatic ecology and environmental microbiology.
