Biographical Sketch

---

Jeremy is a PhD student working with Dr. Colden Baxter and joined the Stream Ecology Center in the fall of 2017. Before attending ISU, he graduated from the University of Montana with a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Biology and a minor in Communication Studies. During his undergraduate years, Jeremy worked with Dr. Lisa Eby in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness to study how stream confluences influence aquatic insect communities in the context of the River Continuum Concept. Jeremy’s dissertation is exploring how stream-riparian food webs in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park are influenced by the functional return of wolves, bears, and mountain lions and their indirect effects on riparian woody vegetation. When he isn’t measuring rocks and scrubbing biofilm with his toothbrush, Jeremy enjoys fly fishing, hiking, skiing, tracking wildlife through the snow, and sipping coffee in the morning.
