Reuben R. Goforth studies freshwater fish and aquatic animal ecology, with particular focus on invasive fish species like Silver Carp and other bigheaded carps in large rivers and the Great Lakes region. His work examines how these fish move, use habitat, and compete with native species, using tools such as tracking tags and environmental DNA (eDNA, genetic material shed into water that can reveal species presence). He also studies sediment effects on amphibians and the evolution of fish jaw structures.
Publication output was higher around 2017-2018, dropped to near zero in 2019-2020, and has since continued at a modest, slowing pace of about one to two papers per year.
