biotechnological significance. As part of our microbiology course, PLU students and I examine microbial communities in various soils collected from the Pacific Northwest. Because only 1% or less of Earth’s bacteria has been successfully cultured in the laboratory, we compare culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques, including many molecular tools, to assess the diversity of various environmental niches.

marine and freshwater systems. My teaching in the area of animal diversity includes general coverage for lower division students and invertebrate zoology. I have the pleasure of teaching both in the Pacific Northwest and the Caribbean. My research interests include ecology and biogeography, primarily in aquatic systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity
