Marine invertebrates; coral reef polychaetes; anchialine communities; organic enrichment and pollution ecology
My research projects emphasize benthic community ecology of sediment dwelling invertebrates near sewage outfalls, in harbors and more pristine coral reef habitats in the Hawaiian Islands and Guam. The interests of graduate and undergraduate students in the Wormlab include - effects of artificial reefs on benthic communities, brackish water shrimp of anchialine pools, coral symbionts, coral recruitment to artificial substrates, polychaete communities of reef sediments, diets of benthic invertebrates, and indicators of organic enrichment associated with open water cage culture of Moi (Pacific Threadfin) and sewage outfalls in Mamala Bay. The applied nature of some of these studies is important for the management and conservation of near shore reef habitats, anchialine pools and deeper marine habitats.
