Welcome to the TRACE Lab at Louisiana State University. We investigate species and ecosystem-level questions of fishes inhabiting headwater streams to coastal and offshore habitats. We ask basic questions about life history, population dynamics, and their fisheries. We also investigate macroscale ecology to inform continental-scale phenomena, such as cross-scale interactions (CSIs). A diversity of statistical analyses are used, with a focus on hierarchical models and Bayesian estimation for improving some of the historical shortcomings of statistical modeling. We collaborate with a wide range of academic agency personnel, to maximize the use of data and make new discoveries.
