Wonders of the Wetlands

For the very first Kendall-Frost Marsh: Wonders of the Wetlands speaker series of 2025 you get the chance to meet Dr. Drew Talley.

Talley’s research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms and generalities behind habitat linkages, in particular spatial subsidy, and integrating these connections into studies of coastal ecosystems. Examples include research focused on the connectivity of habitats in southern California estuaries; spatial subsidy at the land-sea interface in the Gulf of California; food web dynamics in coastal systems of northern Baja California, and the ecosystem-level impacts of species invasions in southern California. Throughout all of his research, Talley deeply integrates education and applied conservation biology into his fundamental science questions.

Join us for 2025’s first quarterly Kendall-Frost Marsh Thursday Night Talk! In this talk Drew will speak about habitat connectivity broadly, but with a special focus on wetland fishes.
