About

Welcome! The Peterson Community Ecology Lab is part of the School of Marine and Atmospheric SciencesStony Brook University, located at the Southampton Campus.

Our lab research focuses on many aspects of marine and benthic ecology.  More specifically, we use quantitative experimental ecology and take a multidisciplinary approach to examine controlling mechanisms of spatial and temporal variability in community structure and stability.

Much of our research focuses on positive biological interactions, benthopelagic coupling, habitat utilization, and ecosystem engineering.
