Background
Welcome to the Riverine Fishes Lab (RFL) 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.
