Current Research

Elevated nutrient concentration in freshwater systems is a global problem that impacts water quality and the ecology of our rivers and streams. To date, most research on the effects of nutrient pollution on aquatic insects has been on the larval life-stage.

My research focuses on the effect elevated nutrient pollution in our freshwater may be having on the egg phase of the mayfly as well as the nymph phase and successful emergence to adulthood.

I am also investigating the effects of nutrients pollution on microbial communities that may affect mayfly populations, particularly aquatic fungal communities.
