Ryan W Walquist

I use my expertise in freshwater biological research to better understand the factors limiting coregonine recruitment in Lake Ontario. Specifically, I lead the coregonine spawning habitat project in eastern Lake Ontario. Our work aims to describe how spawning habitat availability and condition mediate coregonine success with emphasis on early life stages. My research interests broadly include freshwater fish and invertebrate phenology and how climate change and habitat modification influence freshwater community structure and function.
