Research Focus

• Raymond Newman's research interests are in applied and basic aquatic ecology with an emphasis on trophic relations, littoral zones, and streams. 
• He is interested in basic and applied aspects of herbivory on freshwater macrophytes by invertebrates. This work includes applied research on potential biological control agents of nuisance weeds such as Eurasian watermilfoil and more basic research on the role of secondary chemicals in the use of macrophytes by aquatic invertebrates. This includes work on effects of large scale treatments to control invasive plants, models to predict invasion and the ecology of propagules such as seeds and turions.
