My research program encompasses field studies, laboratory experiments, and mathematical modeling simulations that address lower foodweb ecology in aquatic ecosystems. Emphasis is placed on interactions between foodweb components and the physicochemical environment. My research projects are focused in varied habitats, which include the Cinaruco River, Venezuela; Sea of Galilee, Israel; and several inland water bodies of Texas (Lakes Somerville, Waco, Whitney, Possum Kingdom, and Caddo; and Carter Creek); and coastal zone habitats of Texas (Galveston Bay, San Antonio Bay System, and Nueces/Corpus Christi Bay System).
