我的研究主要关注淡水生态系统的生态学和保护，重点是五个方面：a）受威胁鱼类的种群动态，b）溪流鱼类的栖息地协会，c）分水岭提供的生态系统服务，d）生物利用评估水质的社区，以及e）入侵物种的影响。他的工作将多种分析方法（例如，实地调查，实验，模拟）应用于一系列空间尺度（例如，区域景观，集水区，溪流，生境斑块）。总体目标是增进对生态系统（包括生态和社会经济组成部分）如何运作的科学理解，并将这些知识提供给资源管理者和其他利益相关者，以便他们更好地做出促进可持续发展的决策。

My research is broadly interested in the ecology and conservation of freshwater ecosystems, with an emphasis on five areas: a) population dynamics of imperiled fishes, b) habitat associations of stream fishes, c) ecosystem services provided by watersheds, d) use of biotic communities to assess water quality, and e) impacts of invasive species. His work applies multiple analytical approaches (e.g., field surveys, experiments, simulations) to a range of spatial scales (e.g., regional landscapes, watersheds, stream reaches, habitat patches). Overarching aims are to advance scientific understanding of how ecosystems (including ecological and socioeconomic components) operate and to make that knowledge available to resource managers and other stakeholders so they are better able to make decisions to promote sustainability.
