Welcome to the Wilson Lab!
My approach to research is
multidimensional. First, I use large-scale observational
studies and meta-analysis of existing data from the literature
to discover patterns in nature. Then, I identify mechanisms
mediating these patterns through laboratory and field-based
experimentation.
As a limnologist, I am
interested in aquatic plant-herbivore interactions and
identifying the ecological and evolutionary consequences of
intraspecific genetic and phenotypic variation on aquatic
communities. My current research, in part, focuses on the
ecology of cyanobacterial blooms, with an emphasis on
understanding how biotic and abiotic factors influence
cyanobacterial bloom formation while also describing how these
events influence community structure and water quality.
