# Andy Davidson Source: https://hello.cv/andydavidson ## Links - linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-t-davidson/ ## About I am an avid naturalist, aquatic ecologist, and bug nerd originally from Memphis, TN. I received my B.S. in Biology from Florida State University in 2013, where I participated in a summer research internship with Dr. Brian Silliman's lab at University of Florida studying tri-trophic interactions between marsh periwinkle snails (Littoraria irrorata) their mud crab predators (Panopeidae) and the salt marsh grasses they feed on (Spartina alterniflora). I received my M.Sc. in Biology from Florida Atlantic University in 2016 studying the effects of eutrophication on predator-prey interactions between crayfish (Procambarus fallax) and native and invasive apple snails (Pomacea paludosa and P. maculata, respectively) under Dr. Nathan Dorn. I completed my Ph.D. at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2023 under Dr. James Vonesh, where I studied the impacts of warming on stage-dependent predation of rock pool mosquito larvae (Aedes atropalpus) by dragonfly nymphs (Libellulidae) and diving beetles (Laccophilus maculosus). My research interests broadly include aquatic community ecology, and much of my research focuses on predator-prey interactions in an ever-changing world. ## Work ### Postdoctoral Scholar | Michigan State University ## Education ### Virginia Commonwealth University | Ph.D. ### Florida Atlantic University | M.Sc. ### Florida State University | B.S. ## Publications ### Regional and local factors interact to shape colonization and extinction dynamics of invasive Hydrilla verticillata in a patchy landscape Ecology and Evolution journal-article ### Warming and top‐down control of stage‐structured prey: Linking theory to patterns in natural systems Ecology journal-article ### Taxa-specific responses to flooding shape patterns of abundance in river rock pools Freshwater Science journal-article ### Asymmetrical effects of temperature on stage‐structured predator–prey interactions Functional Ecology journal-article ### Island biogeography, spatial ecology, and macroinvertebrate species diversity in Richmond’s rock pools QUBES Educational Resources journal-article ### System productivity alters predator sorting of a size-structured mixed prey community Oecologia journal-article ### Life history traits determine the differential vulnerability of native and invasive apple snails (Pomacea spp.) to a shared juvenile-stage predator Aquatic Ecology journal-article ### Non-consumptive predator effects intensify grazer–plant interactions by driving vertical habitat shifts Marine Ecology Progress Series journal-article ## Source Read this profile on Hello.cv: https://hello.cv/andydavidson Create your free profile at https://hello.cv
