Assistant Professor @UWLaCrosse. Aquatic ecology with focus on intermittent rivers, isolated wetlands and headwater streams.
La Crosse, WI USA
Joined May 2015
New Pub🎉 Intermittent streams are everywhere but did you ever wonder if their communities respond the same to drying? We gathered a global invert dataset across an aridity gradient (arid->humid) to address this question. #BACIdesign #openaccess

New publication! What tree species should foresters plant in Upper #MississippiRiver #floodplain restoration projects? We think results from our long-term experiment can help answer that. https://t.co/9tFdvNF4Rb

That gentleman in the front row, far left, is maestro mycologist Tom Volk. Health struggles didn't appear to dampen his sense of humor and fungal fascination. We will all miss him terribly.

I'm writing a book about cultural entomology (how insects affect art, music, literature, politics, cuisine, language, technology, war, etc.). If you were to read such a book, what subjects, stories, or images would you most like to have in it?

the Mississippi River is so low right now you need to walk half a mile across a sandbar to even see the water

We’re on #Pool8 of the Upper Mississippi River collecting emerging aquatic insects. Haven’t seen the big mayfly emergence yet. Water temps in back waters are 30c!

Nope. That's not rain... Those are BUGS on the Power of 5 Radar screen. Millions of MAYFLIES hatched near the Lake Erie Islands and are now flying east toward Euclid and Painesville. Don't worry. They don't bite... #ohwx @wews @news5cleveland

Field season starting today! This is year 3 of our study on aquatic insect emergence on the Upper Mississippi River to see how connectivity and inundation duration influence the timing, diversity, and abundance of emergence.
