- Research Scientist, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas A&M University
overview
As a research scientist for the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute sin, Dr. Charles Randklev works on issues related to freshwater mussel conservation. His research expertise is unionid ecology with research interests in habitat requirements and biogeography for rare and common mussel species. Charles is also interested in how habitat alteration impacts mussel community composition and how these changes influence ecosystem services provided by unionids.
