Terrestrial–aquatic linkages in spring-fed and snowmelt-dominated streams
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017 The importance of trophic linkages between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems is predicted to vary as a function of subsidy quantity and quality relative to in situ resources. To test this prediction, I used multi-year diet data from Bonneville cutthroat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Nanotoxicity in Aquatic Invertebrates
, 2016 Due to their unique properties, nanomaterials (NMs) are being incorporated in several applications including consumer products, electronics, pesticides and the pharmaceutical industry. As such, the rapid development and large-scale production of NMs has in‐ spired concerns regarding their environmental health risks. In order to address these con‐ cerns,
