Welcome to the Garcia lab!

Our research lab, located in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University, focuses on the dynamic and complex interactions that regulate life in aquatic habitats.

We have students working on a range of topics and you are encouraged to visit our people page for a full overview.

Both M.S. and Ph.D. students explore the pertinent environmental issues threatening biological diversity and ecosystem function using theoretical and quantitative techniques.

We typically use amphibian systems to answer our ecology-based queries, but believe that the scientific question should dictate the model system, not the other way around.

We appreciate a diverse working environment and integrate educational and applied aspects into our research.
