and their specific interests...
I am the Research Tech for the Tooker Lab. I manage our daily lab and field research activities. I have a wide interest in applying ecological principals to agricultural systems, and communicating the research results of applying these principals to the farming community and the general public.

I am interested in community interactions occurring within agroecosystems and the management innovations we can glean from them.

"I am a PhD student in the Ecology program and am co-advised by Heather Preisendaz (Ag Bio Engineering). I am interested in understanding the fate and transport of emerging contaminants in aquatic systems and understanding their influence on to benthic macroinvertebrate communities."

I am interested in intraspecific cooperation and conflict in both social and sexual contexts. I have previously studied the costs and benefits of group living in spiders, as well as the effects of sexual cannibalism on mate choice. My current research examines sexual behavior in the goldenrod gall fly and how its host plant, a voyeur of fly sex pheromone, influences sexual selection.
