Research summary

Jason T. Hoverman studies how amphibians and freshwater invertebrates are affected by disease-causing pathogens (like ranavirus and parasitic trematodes) and by chemical pollutants such as pesticides, fungicides, and PFAS ('forever chemicals'). His work combines field studies and lab experiments to understand how these stressors, sometimes acting together, affect individual animals, populations, and whole aquatic ecosystems, including effects on ecosystem-level processes like carbon cycling. This research is relevant to students interested in ecotoxicology, disease ecology, and freshwater conservation.
