Background
Welcome to the Riverine Fishes Lab (RFL or "Riffle") website! I'm Corey Dunn, Leader of the US Geological Survey's North Carolina Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, & Assistant Professor & head of RFL group within the Department of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University.
My current projects span a mix of conservation- & management-focused topics including helping control the spread of invasive carps, examining barrier passage by river fishes, using geospatial techniques to survey for narrow-ranged endemic crayfishes, & developing statistical frameworks for evaluating imperilment of hundreds of freshwater fish, crayfish, & mussel species inhabiting the biodiversity hotspot that is the southeastern United States. More broadly, my research interests include conservation, rivers & streams, structured decision making, & landscape ecology, with my ultimate goal being to generate knowledge & tools to conserve freshwater biodiversity. Please tour my website to learn more about my background. If you have any questions about my research please contact me using the information below or follow along via my science outreach Twitter account. Contact information:
