Research
This page presents some examples
of the research currently underway by faculty and graduate students
in our department. For additional information about current research,
please contact the individuals involved. Topics and active projects
change throughout the year, so please come back often.
- Biochronology
Laboratory - Histories of the aquatic environment
written by the fish themselves in their own bones and otoliths.
- Ecosystems and Applied Ecology - Interdisciplinary research
in wildlife conservation, ecology and computer science.
- Exotic Species - Eurasian
watermilfoil, sea lampreys, and
ruffe are some of the aquatic species currently under study.
- Fish Physiology - Chemosensory biology of ruffe, lamprey,
and goldfish lead to an understanding of pheromone communication
among fish.
Understanding
how nutrition affects fish reproduction is also important.
- International Wildlife Conservation - Tigers in Nepal and sloth
bears on the Indian subcontinent provide challenges
for the conservation biology of large
vertebrates.
- Spotted
Owls - Research on spotted owls and ruffed grouse
helps provide the scientific basis for management
of these species.
- Understanding the link between citizen science
and empowerment of local watershed groups
