My lab investigates the Ecology of Marine Rocky Shores, combining experimental and mensurative approaches to understand species distribution and community structure in rocky intertidal environments from local to regional scales. We conduct our research mainly in Atlantic Canada, including these themes:
• Macroecology, biogeography, and benthic-pelagic coupling
• Predator-prey and seaweed-herbivore interactions
• Algae and mussels as foundation species
• Spatial scales of variation in intertidal communities
• Coastal oceanographic and climatic conditions
