 Daniel Marshalonis will earn his Ph.D. in Biology in May from the University of South Carolina. Utilizing a combination of manipulative field and laboratory experiments, Daniel’s research focuses on food web dynamics and energy flows in estuarine systems. In particular, he is interested in how gelatinous zooplankton predation impacts plankton communities, from phytoplankton to fish. His research questions are relevant to studies concerning ecosystem structure and function, environmental sustainability including fisheries, habitat restoration and remediation, global climate change, and invertebrate zoology. He has field experience working in a wide variety of marine settings, including coastal (rocky intertidal and salt marsh) and open ocean ecosystems, spanning the tropics, temperate and polar regions. Daniel is moving to the Seattle area to pursue new academic and professional opportunities.
