Many of the largest threats to biodiversity affect entire communities, the interactions between species, and how community-level processes impact the functioning of ecosystems. My interests lie in understanding how the theories of community ecology can be applied to conservation issues.
Meet the postdocs, graduate students and researchers in the Layman Lab. Read more about our diverse research program projects, both local and abroad. Educational outreach is a core component of our lab. Check out our outreach efforts. It has been our pleasure to host Sophia Walton from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. She has been contributing to various projects in the lab over the course of the semester.
PhD Candidate at the University of Toronto. Lover of ecology, limnology, and science education. I investigate how the spatial distribution of prey in aquatic ecosystems impacts predator growth and reproduction. Drivers of Algal Spatial Heterogeneity. In aquatic ecosystems the mean prey production is less than what is required to sustain the observed predator production. To do this I am using the common zooplankton Daphnia pulex. As a model consumer and the green algae Ankistrodesmus.
I am a post-doctoral research associate and lecturer in the in the Department of Biological Sciences at Sam Houston State University. My research focuses on the community ecology of complex life cycles.

I am interested in how oceanographic processes and conditions affect the distribution, abundance and behavior of marine predators and their prey and how these processes affect trophic structure of coastal ecosystems. I use a multi-scale, interdisciplinary approach to investigate these processes, by employing shipboard expeditions, laboratory experiments, modeling, and retrospective examinations of long-term data sets.
