 - '@type': TextObject
   abstract: His main interest lies in how parasites affect ecosystems and, in turn,
     how ecosystems affect parasites. He is also involved in research on the conservation
     of marine resources, investigating strategies for protecting endangered shorebirds,
     fish and abalone. He has also assessed the effects of marine reserves.Dr. Lafferty
     received his Ph. D. in Ecological Parasitology in 1991 at University of California,
     Santa Barbara (UCSB) and took a post doc with the National Marine Sanctuary
     and a research position at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is
     presently a Marine Ecologist for the USGS at the Channel Islands Field Station.
     As a UCSB adjunct faculty member, the university's Department of Ecology, Evolution
     and Marine Biology generously provides for Dr. Lafferty's office and laboratory
     space in the Marine Lab. He advises graduate students in Marine Ecology, but
     has no formal teaching assignments.RESEARCH INTERESTSConservation biologyInvasive
