Biological Oceanography Research – Food Web Dynamics and Interactions
Interactions between zooplankton, phytoplankton and protists, their distributions in time and space, connections between individual behavior and populations level demographics. Zooplankton link primary producers with higher trophic levels, including economically important fisheries, and are important indicators of the health of ecosystems. We have a particular focus on Puget Sound ecology, ocean acidification, heat waves and ocean anoxia.
