My current research focuses on all aspects of aquatic invasions. I am particularly interested in the ecology of invasive fish species and interactions among invasives. I investigate these aspects with "old school" investigations of a species diet, but also stable isotope analysis. My main research topics are: invasion biology; limnology, trophic interactions.
