Collins Ogbeide discusses how artificial light at night and invasive crayfish disrupt stream food webs
Summary
This blog post features an interview with Collins Ogbeide, discussing his research on how artificial light at night (ALAN) and invasive signal crayfish interact to alter aquatic-terrestrial food webs. The study focuses on predator-prey dynamics in riparian streams, particularly examining riparian spiders (Tetragnatha ext) as a model organism. Ogbeide shares insights from his research journey, emphasizing that adaptability is more important than having everything planned out from the start.
