Tiffany Garcia

Dr. Tiffany Garcia is a Professor in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences at Oregon State University. She serves as an undergraduate student advisor and leads research on aquatic community ecology.

Her research examines how environmental stressors affect aquatic communities, with emphasis on amphibian responses to hydroperiod changes, temperature, UV radiation, and pathogens. Her work also investigates agricultural impacts on aquatic biodiversity and agro-ecological strategies.

Research approaches include field studies, laboratory experiments, and theoretical modeling of predator-prey dynamics, competition, and disease ecology in freshwater habitats.
