   personal_statement: Originally hailing from Oregon, Dr. Murphy received her MSc
     from the University of Girona, Spain and her PhD from Oregon State University.
     She was a post-doctoral fellow at Oregon State University before joining the
     Maine Unit in late 2020. She holds a graduate faculty appointment as an Assistant
     Professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology
     in the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture at the University
     of Maine. Dr. Murphy prioritizes research with the potential to contribute to
     the information needs of natural resource managers. Her research interests are
     centered on top down and bottom up responses to disturbance, especially hydrological
     alteration. This includes evaluations of nutrient, light and habitat availability,
     phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic insects, fish pathogens, food webs, and
     diverse fish assemblages. Current projects include, but are not limited to,
     understanding aquatic ecology in wetted forest lands, the role of introduced
     species in structuring aquatic food webs, and the influence of environmental
     flow regimes on ecological integrity. Dr. Murphy has taught Fish Ecology and
     Conservation and is currently teaching a Special Problems course in Bioenergetics.
