January 27, 2011: Meghan Brown is an assistant professor of biology at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. She studies zooplankton in the fresh waters of the Finger Lakes and the Great Lakes and how these microscopic species are influenced by, and influence, biotic and abiotic processes.
Using field observations, laboratory experiments, and mathematical models to test hypotheses, her research has centered on how microscopic species interact with their environment and how new species added to the mix have changed the functioning of lakes...namely the fishhook and spiny water fleas, which are among the non-native species that are now established in North American lakes.
Her work has added to the growing body of evidence that non-native species have a substantial impact on our lakes.
