Dr John Morrongiello

I am a quantitative ecologist working in marine and freshwater systems investigating how aquatic organisms, primarily fish, respond to environmental change on contemporary and evolutionary time scales. I am keenly interested in the impacts of, and adaptations to, natural and human-induced flow variability, fishery activity, and environmental change.

I ask questions at different levels of biological organisation, ranging from individuals to assemblages, using field-based and experimental techniques.
