(MENAFN- The Conversation) Research scientist,
Dr. McInerney is an ecosystem ecologist with principal interests in the fields of ecohydrology (environmental flows), freshwater community ecology, biological invasions, and biological responses to climate change. Dr. McInerney's research focus areas include freshwater food webs, how energy flow in ecosystems may be influenced by biotic and abiotic disturbances or by anthropogenic interventions, and how invasive species modify structure and function within freshwater ecosystems.
