My research focuses on the response of aquatic communities and food webs to climate change and other environmental perturbations (e.g., eutrophication, salinization, drought). I study changes in community and size structure, biotic indices (i.e., zooplankton, invertebrates) in inland waters ranging from lentic (i.e., lakes, ponds) to lotic (i.e., intermittent rivers), using various approaches (e.g. experiments, biomonitoring surveys) across climatic and environmental gradients.
