Research Summary:
The research focus of this laboratory is comprehensive studies of algae in
freshwater streams. Topics of interest include algal dispersal, population
biology, systematics, reproductive ecology and tolerance to disturbed
habitats. A combination of intensive field studies and molecular DNA
techniques are employed to address these questions.
