POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH
1999-2001,
Dept of Zoology,
University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand
Ecology
and role of macroinvertebrate crustaceans in a coastal
lake of New Zealand
- life history and
reproductive strategy of amphipods and mysids
- predator-prey
relationships among fish, mysids, and amphipods
- influence of fish and
mysid predation on the reproductive strategy of
amphipods
- role of amphipods in
nutrient recycling and plankton community
structure
- predict community
changes in relation to rising sea level and water
temperature as a result of global climatic change
Part of this research was
carried out in collaboration with German and US
researchers
Ph.D.
RESEARCH
 1994 - 1999,
Dept of Biological
Sciences,
University of
Alberta, Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada
Ecology and role of the amphipod, Gammarus
lacustris, in lakes of the Canadian
Rocky Mountains
- influence of water
temperature on life history and reproductive
strategies of G. lacustris along an
elevation gradient
- predicting the fate
of populations in relation to temperature changes
expected from climate warming by capitalizing on
the negative relationship between water
temperature and elevation as a source of
environmental variation
- importance of G.
lacustris in the diet of threatened bull
trout; and how selective predation by fish
influences the life history strategy of the
amphipod
- how predation and
nutrient (P) release by G. lacustris
structured planktonic communities
- lipid dynamics
between populations of G. lacustris at
different elevations
M.Sc.

The
Life History, Growth and Respiration of Diporeia
(Crustacea: Amphipoda) in Lakes of South Central Ontario:
