Dr. Leonard Smock received his Ph.D. in 1979
from the University of North Carolina and is an aquatic ecologist
whose primary research interests focus on community-level aspects of
streams and riverine wetlands. Much of his research has involved
aspects of habitat utilization, resource partitioning and the
trophic and production ecology of aquatic invertebrates as well as
detritus dynamics in streams and wetlands. His work examines
linkages between invertebrate and detritus dynamics in stream
channels with those in fringing floodplains. He also conducts
research on water quality, including ongoing projects concerning the
effects of changes in land-use patterns on the biological structure
of streams.
