My lab does Rocky Intertidal Ecology, focusing on algae and invertebrates from the NW Atlantic coast. Our main goal is to understand the biological and environmental factors that affect population and community dynamics on marine rocky shores, contributing to the development of ecological theory. Examples of current and past projects are:
- Benthic-pelagic coupling along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia
- Nonconsumptive effects of predatory snails on barnacle and mussel populations
- Seaweeds and mussels as foundation species
- Phenotypic plasticity in a seaweed-herbivore system
- Environmental stress models of species and functional-group diversity
- Spatial scales of biological variation
- Ecological effects of intertidal sea ice
- Epiphyte-host interactions in macroalgal beds
- Population dynamics of clonal and unitary seaweeds
- Abundance of life-history phases in red algae
