Rachel E. Bowes
Education:
Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from The University of Kansas
B.A. in Pre-Professional Zoology, Chemistry from Ohio Wesleyan University
Research Interests:
I am currently focusing on macroecological food web questions. My dissertation looks at the use and validity of current stable isotope techniques and their applications to food webs. Then I analyze how food web structure changes temporally and as a function of lateral habitat complexity in the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
