A core focus of my research is the ecological effects of marine protected areas, including understanding broader-scale effects through the dispersal of reef fish larvae and their implications for management in developing coral reef countries. I am primarily a field ecologist studying reef fish but in the past decade have led multi-disciplinary research programs on coral reef connectivity in the Philippines involving ecologists, oceanographers, geneticists and conservation planners. Recently, I initiated research on the ecology of fish that inhabit mesophotic coral ecosystems.

Only publications relevant to mesophotic reefs are indexed.
