My general interest is in fish behavior and ecology, particularly migratory behavior, habitat requirements, and spawning behavior. My research blends a variety of field techniques including tagging, telemetry and direct observations, with appropriate laboratory experiments. Most but not all of my research deals with salmon and trout. I am studying the patterns of spawning site selection and reproductive behavior of salmon, the effects of habitat alteration from logging on salmon and trout populations, the evolutionary adaptations of salmon to their environments, and the patterns of olfactory imprinting and homing by salmon.
