I am a PhD fish ecologist interested in the physiology and behavior involved in the predator-prey interactions between freshwater fishes. I received a B.A. from St Olaf College in 2007 (where I met my wife, Brigitta), and then a M.S. in 2014 and a Ph.D. in 2018 in Integrated Biosciences from the University of Minnesota.
Currently I teach biology as a visiting assistant professor at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University. https://www.csbsju.edu/biology/faculty/trevor-keyler My interests in ecology arose early on when I used to shadow my father in the field while conducting research on the Timber rattlesnake in SE MN. This interest in ecology has been combined with my love of fish and I am lucky to be able to conduct research within the fisheries field. I am a native Minnesotan and after 6 years in Duluth, have recently moved to Buffalo, MN. We have two sons Everett (4 yrs) and Linden (<1 yr) who keep us very busy. My non-academic interests include fly fishing, cycling, drawing and photography. LinkedIn Profile |
