Current Research

The Winemiller Lab investigates community ecology, fish ecology, fish evolution, and ecosystem ecology in freshwater and estuarine habitats.  Our research is strongly field oriented, with studies conducted at sites throughout Texas, Latin America, and Africa.  Field research adopts descriptive, comparative and experimental approaches to investigate fish reproduction/life history strategies, feeding ecology, ecological morphology, habitat use, species interactions, assemblage structure, and food web ecology.
