My research interests are aimed at determining how both singular and simultaneous environmental stressors like ocean acidification, elevated temperature, hypoxia, and toxic algae (red tide) impact the early life history stages of marine invertebrates. Specifically my research focuses on understanding how these environmental stressors may affect the larval physiology and behavior of Florida’s commercially and ecologically important crustaceans including stone crabs, spiny lobsters, and the Caribbean King crab.
