Welcome to the Carlson lab, where we study the evolutionary ecology and conservation of freshwater fishes. We aim to do research that illuminates how evolution and ecology interact to shape wild populations, particularly those exposed to anthropogenic (human) influences. Some topics that we investigate include:
Much of our research is field-based and incorporates elements of behavioral, population, and community ecology. Our research combines various field techniques including the tagging and tracking of individually-marked fish, experimental manipulations in the field, and direct observations. Most of our work involves Pacific salmon and trout, although we are generally interested in the conservation of native fishes. |
