Catherine L. Searle studies how disease-causing organisms (parasites and pathogens) interact with aquatic and amphibian hosts, and how environmental stressors like temperature, salt pollution, and microplastics affect these host-parasite dynamics and broader freshwater food webs. Her work combines field, laboratory, and mesocosm (outdoor tank) experiments on organisms such as frogs, Daphnia (water fleas), and zooplankton communities. This research is relevant to understanding disease spread and ecosystem health under changing environmental conditions.
Publication output has been relatively steady over the past decade, peaking around 2021-2022 with 6-7 papers per year, followed by a dip in 2024 and a partial rebound in 2025-2026.
