Welcome to the WilsonLab at Auburn!
Our approach to research is
multidimensional. First, we use large-scale observational
studies and meta-analysis of existing data from the literature
to discover patterns in nature. Then, we identify mechanisms
mediating these patterns through laboratory and field-based
experimentation.
As a community ecologist, I am
generally interested in consumer-prey interactions and
identifying the ecological and evolutionary consequences of intraspecific genetic and phenotypic variation on aquatic
communities and ecosystems. My current research focuses on the
ecology of cyanobacterial blooms with an emphasis on
understanding how biotic and abiotic factors influence
cyanobacterial bloom formation in a variety of systems including
recreational reservoirs and aquaculture ponds. In tandem with our harmful
algal bloom research, the lab is also studying the
factors leading to taste, odor, and toxicity issues in drinking
water reservoirs.

I am always looking for hard-working, honest,
and self-motivated graduate and undergraduate students to
join our group. I encourage individual thinking, so it
is not critical that we share identical research interests.
But, it is important that you are fascinated by science and
want to explore how the natural world works. Please
email
me your resume, transcripts, GRE scores (if applicable),
research interests, and contact information for three
references and we will try to find a spot for you in the
lab.
