About Me
- Marianne E. McNamara
- I am currently a PhD student working in Dr. Darcy Lonsdale's zooplankton ecology lab at the Marine Science Research Center at Stony Brook University. My research focuses on feeding ecology and food web dynamics of gelatinous zooplankton, particularly ctenophores. I am interested in the study of top-down control of zooplankton populations by gelatinous predators. I am also interested in the factors influencing larval survival of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, and how this survival changes on a seasonal basis and in response to shifting microplankton assemblages. In the next 6 months, I will be participating in 2 research cruises studying zooplankton at sea. The first, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, is a 4-week long cruise working with researchers from the University of Rhode Island. The second is a 6-week long research cruise at the bottom of the world, studying zooplankton ecology in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Check out the links to these cruises on this website and follow my adventures at sea!

Marianne, I am delighted to see you on the web! Way to go!!!
Our little girl is all growed up! Congratulations Marianne, I'm looking forward to following your adventures. See you soon.....Bill
Hey Marianne,
I think your website is a great idea and look forward to checking it out. Congratulations! I am very proud of you... Brother Ed
You have probably landed in Panama by now...We look forward to reading about your research & adventures. Can't wait to see that passport stamp when you return!
Yay, Mac! It's so great to be able to follow along with your research! Thanks, from a has-been marine bio student! I am concerned, however, that the scientific name of your favorite ctenophore is neither italicized nor underlined in your bio. If I had my red proof-reading pen out right now, you'd be in trouble! So proud of you!, Red
