Biography

I received my BS degree in biology in 1984 and my MS degree in Biology in 1987 at the University of Nevada, Reno. I received my PhD in zoology from the University of Georgia in 1994. I joined the Cooperative Research Unit program in 1998 as Assistant Unit Leader at the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. In 2003 I became the Unit Leader at the Colorado Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. I am interested in environmental effects on fish population dynamics and fish biology. My research has three major themes: disease ecology of inland salmonids, the effects of water quality on fish populations, and evaluation of endangered species populations. My lab has focused on several salmonid diseases, including whirling disease, bacterial cold-water disease, and bacterial kidney disease. Our work on water quality has focused on both contaminants and water temperature as factors effecting fish populations in the Great Plains of Colorado. My lab has also focused on assessment and management of endangered fishes utilizing mark-recapture techniques, Passive Integrated Transponders, and otolith microchemistry.
