Marine invertebrate zoology; coral reef polychaetes; brackish water shrimp

My research projects emphasize benthic community ecology of sediment dwelling invertebrates near sewage outfalls, community development on artificial reefs and life history and population dynamics of brackish water shrimp. Students have worked on a number of aspects of polychaete community structure in reef habitats, brackish water shrimp, coral symbionts, coral recruitment on artificial substrates, sediment infaunal composition near transplanted corals, lobster feeding biology and pollution indicators. The applied nature of some of these studies are important to management and conservation issues.
