Fishes have been primary foci in my research career across numerous study systems and research trajectories. Some examples of research topics here, each with a link to an example publication.

• Seagrass “halos”
• Fish soundscapes
• Optimum yields for invasive species
• Sexual selection
• Life history strategies
• Metabolic theory
• Movement patterns across seascapes
• Role as nutrient vectors
• Indicators of ecosystem change
• Determinants of benthic community composition
• The lionfish invasion has emerged as one of the most high profile environmental issues in the Western Atlantic.  I have explored various aspects of lionfish biology, including trophic role, behavior, and success of management efforts.  We conducted the first in situ tagging studies, demonstrated their tolerance for relatively low salinity waters, and documented prey naivety to this novel predator threat.
