Benthic Ecology
- Food web structure
- Freshwater mussel assemblages
- Nutrient cycling
Dr. Christian's research includes
the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on the
distribution, food web structure, and ecosystem
processing of aquatic organisms. He currently uses
freshwater mussel assemblages as target organisms
for investigations due to their large biomass,
longevity, and sessile lifestyle. His research
interest in the role of freshwater mussel
communities in aquatic systems includes
distribution, food resources/food webs, and nutrient
recycling. Additional interests include projecting
the role of freshwater mussels in low order streams
into larger stream systems.
