 abstract: "I analyze the physiologic and metabolic effects of stressors on organisms\
   \ and how subsequent vulnerabilities translate into population and ecosystem health.\
   \ Stressors can be either chemical (pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons), physical\
   \ (e.g., elevated water temperature), or biological (toxins, pathogens). My long-term\
   \ goal is to better understand the effects of anthropogenic and natural stressors\
   \ on individuals and how those stressors are reflected in an individual organism\u2019\
