Research Interests:

• Coral reef ecology (from gastropods to corals to fishes): roles of habitat quality and density-dependence.

• Size and stage-structured interactions, and their implications for population dynamics and community patterns.

• The roles of density-dependence, predation, competition, and resource limitation in aquatic ecosystems.

• The application of meta-analysis in ecology (e.g., quantification of effect size (and interaction strength) and its variation among organisms and environments).

• The design and implementation of whole ecosystem experiments and environmental assessment studies.

• The application of ecological theory to the design of marine reserves and fisheries management strategies.
