He has published extensively on topics like aquatic communities, floodplain dynamics, and invasive species impacts.
Education:
- B.S. Fisheries and Wildlife Management (Lake Superior State University, 1997)
- M.S. Wildlife and Fisheries Resources (West Virginia University, 2001)
- Ph.D. Wildlife and Fisheries Science (Louisiana State University, 2005)
Research Interests: Quantitative analysis of aquatic communities, stream assessment methodologies, and the ecological impacts of invasive species such as feral hogs and carps. Current projects include floodplain river connectivity, conservation of endangered species like the Louisiana pearlshell mussel, and fish-habitat interactions.
His recent publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, integrating ecology, statistics, and policy. He advises a diverse group of graduate students and has mentored over 20 researchers. Collaborates with agencies like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries on applied conservation projects.
