About the Garcia Lab

Our research encompasses a wide variety of biological disciplines, including:

  • Behavioral ecology
  • Community ecology
  • Invasion biology
  • Conservation biology
  • Herpetology
  • Climate Change

We work in freshwater habitats and address ecologically based questions using amphibian and invertebrate systems.

Using observational, theoretical, and emperical methods we address questions on:

  • Predator/prey dynamics
  • Competition regimes
  • Emerging diseases
  • Microhabitat preference
  • Environmental Stress response

Projects typically include laboratory and field components, and students are encouraged to develop their own research interests and obtain outside funding. Visit our projects page to learn more.
