Robert W. Sanders |
Bob Sanders is an
ecologist who studies planktonic organisms in marine and fresh
waters. His research emphasis is on protists (algae and
protozoa), invertebrates, and their trophic interactions. He has
received research funding to study feeding ecology and remineralization
of nutrients by protists, the ecological importance and physiology of
mixotrophic phytoplankton and ciliates, the utilization of protozoa as
food sources for zooplankton, the bioavailability of dissolved organic
nitrogen (DON), the role of DON/DOC in eutrophication, and the effects
of ultraviolet
radiation on food webs. He has interests in the ecology of
protists from polar regions, and has current NSF funding to investigate
mixotrophy and kleptoplasty in the Southern Ocean. |
