Larry Crowder
Stephen Toth Professor of Marine Biology
Marine Science and Conservation Division
Dr. Crowder's research centers on predation and food web interactions,
mechanisms
underlying recruitment variation in fishes, and on population and food
web modeling
in conservation biology. He has studied food web processes in estuaries
and lakes,
and has used observational, experimental and modeling approaches to
understand
these interactions in an effort to improve fisheries management. He
co-directed
the South Atlantic Bight Recruitment Experiment (SABRE) and continues to
conduct
research on the life histories of estuarine-dependent fishes. He
continues to
conduct model and statistical analyses to assist in endangered species
management
for both aquatic (sea turtles) and terrestrial species (red-cockaded
woodpeckers).
Recently he has begun developing more extensive programs in marine
conservation,
including research on bycatch, spatial analysis, nutrients and low
oxygen, marine
invasive species and integrated ecosystem management.
