Curriculum Vitae

Research

Fish population and community ecology;  Evolution, ecology, and management of fishes and aquatic ecosystems in temperate and tropical settings;  Specific research interests include:  patterns and mechanisms of resource partitioning in fish communities; life-history strategies and population regulation; predator-prey interactions; relationships between form and ecological function in fishes; management of biodiversity and multi-species fisheries; food web structure and function; responses of fluvial ecological systems to variation in flow regimes.

Dr. Winemiller conducts research on fisheries and aquatic ecology, with emphasis on life history theory, population regulation, food web ecology, and fluvial ecosystem responses to hydrologic variation. He has coauthored and coedited three books and published more than 300 scientific journal articles and book chapters, with his most cited papers concerning fish life history and food web ecology. In 2019 he received the American Fisheries Society’s Award of Excellence for scientific achievement and outstanding contributions in fisheries and aquatic biology. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Ecological Society of America, and American Fisheries Society. He was awarded the Ecological Society of America’s Mercer Award for an influential contribution in food web ecology. He has served on several Boards and Panels dealing with environmental issues and has served as Associate Editor for multiple ecological and fisheries journals.
