Name:Dean Monette
Email:dmonette@fau.edu
Major and Classification:Ph.D. Candidate Geosciences
Advisor:Dr. Scott Markwith
Research Interests:Biogeography
Invasive Species
Environmental Restoration
Environmental Management
Thesis/Dissertaion Title:Grazing, Competition, and Invasion Trajectory of Pomacea maculata
Thesis/Dissertaion Description:My research investigates the impact of this exotic species invasion on two of CERP’s main environmental restoration goals: a) function of key vegetation communities, and b)conservation of the endangered Snail Kite’s (Rostrhamus sociabilis) primary food source, the native gastropod Pomacea paludosa. This research utilizes laboratory analysis, field studies, biological and spatial statistics in order to formulate invasive species distribution and population models that can be applied in restoration science, biogeography, spatial ecology, and conservation management.
