Research Interests
I have an on-going research project at the Duke University Marine Laboratory studying settlement behavior and recruitment of soft substrate marine invertebrates, specifically Chaetopterus, the polychaete tube worm and the Cross-barred Venus Clam, Chione cancellata. My research concerns itself with the settlement behavior and reproductive biology of the pedunculate barnacle, Pollicipes polymerus, and the shell-selection behavior of the Indo-Pacific Carrier shell, Xenophora pallidula.
