Research interests center on the application of landscape ecology concepts in marine ecosystems to study the influence of spatial structure and habitat heterogeneity on the patterning of marine communities, and species interactions, distribution, and movement. My current work uses a combination of modelling and quantitative methods that integrate multiple catch and environmental datasets to identify the underlying drivers of bonefish dynamics in Florida Bay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teaching<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">I currently teach the following courses:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"><u>PCB 5423, Advanced Ecology: Populations and Communities (co-taught with J.
