Work in the Booth lab group is typically focused on with freshwater aquatic communities. We are interested in examining how animal behaviors, such as movement dynamics, can modulate the influence of species on their ecosystems. Water is an often scarce and precious resource for humans and their environment–much of our work focuses on gathering data to enable better use of our resources to ensure a sustainable future. Modern technology provides us with amazing tools (e.g., passive integrated transponders and sonar cameras) to address important questions and surmount difficult hurdles.
