Biography

I am a marine disease ecologist at the Hakai Institute, an adjunct professor in the UBC Institute of Oceans and Fisheries and a member of the Biodiversity Research Centre. I am particularly interested in the interactions between infected hosts and their communities, as well as the impact of temperature on host-parasite interactions.

Research Interests/Keywords

Marine community ecology, marine parasite ecology, marine invertebrates, physiological ecology, biodiversity, larval ecology, statistical design and modeling and invasion biology
