I'm currently a M.S. student getting a degree in Zoology. I am under the advisement of Dr. Mark Clark.

Current Project
Rainbow Darters in the Ottertail River

The project I'm working on as a graduate student is with rainbow darters. I will be investigating a variety of aspects concering their intraspecific relationships and spatial distrubition. I will be doing this by setting up competition/display experiments in tanks between two fish to determine what factors contribute to fish obtaining a certain habitat. One of the main factors I'll be looking at is metabolic rate.
