​Dr. Reuber Antoniazzi
Ph.D. in Science at Instituto de Ecología (INECOL), Mexico 
Website: www.reuberantoniazzi.weebly.com
CV: reuberantoniazzi.weebly.com/cv.html


Dr. Antoniazzi research's focus is on community ecology of tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems. Dr.  Dr. Antoniazzi is interested in organismal biotic interactions and processes that cause biodiversity changes over space and time. 
During his time at the Montana Lab, Dr.  Antoniazzi  will collaborate on research on the community ecology of fishes and describing historical patterns of fish assemblages in East Texas streams.

David Peterson 
Fish Biologist
USDA- Forest Service Lufkin TX


Dave and the member of the Montana Lab are working on describing the "Conservation status of fishes in East Texas". We are looking at historical and contemporary data to evaluate changes in species composition over time, but also we are looking at life history traits and functional traits to evaluate what traits have allowed the persistence of some native species over time.
