Some nonlinear problems in plankton ecology
In marine ecology, the variability of the physical environment is often considered a main determinant of biological pattern. A common approach to identifying key environmental forcings is to match scales of variability: fluctuations of a biological variable at a particular frequency are attributed …

The Role of Zooplankton in Regulating Carbon Export and Phytoplankton Community Structure: Integrating Models and Observations
In this thesis, I explore two topics in plankton ecology with a combination of models and observations. First, I investigate the contribution of zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) to the vertical flux of carbon as part of the biological pump. I do this by constructing and analyzing a global …

The Effects of Hypoxia on Zooplankton Communities in Lakes and Reservoirs
… which can disrupt ecological communities. Zooplankton, important aquatic organisms for regulating water quality and food webs, are one group of organisms affected by hypoxia since zooplankton need oxygen to respire. My research shows that hypoxia may disrupt zooplankton behavior and increase …

Seasonal predictability and interannual variability in coastal planktonic communities
… the predictability and variability of coastal planktonic communities is essential for forecasting ecosystem responses to environmental change and managing marine resources. This thesis examines seasonal predictability, temperature-phenology relationships, and interannual bloom variability in …
