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\ s fitness (survival and reproduction), the population level effects of differential\ \ survival and reproduction of individuals, and the ecosystem level effects of\ \ population change.RESEARCH INTERESTSEco-immunologyNearshore marine ecosystem\ \ healthConservation biologyEco-toxicologyIndividual and population level susceptibility" additionalType: personal statement
