Dr. Dunn is an Assistant Professor and a Research Fisheries Biologist for the United States Geological Survey. He leads the USGS North Carolina Fish & Wildlife Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit, which supports the conservation and management of natural resources through applied research, graduate education, and by technical support to conservation agencies. His overarching research interest is conservation of rivers and river-dependent species. General themes of his research program include 1) linkages between landscapes, and freshwater fish and invertebrate communities, 2) monitoring and assessment of freshwater ecosystems, 3) imperiled species management, and 4) natural resources decision-making. Much of his work has focused geographically within southeastern (USA) streams and rivers — a biodiversity hotspot.

2024 journal article

Using resiliency, redundancy, and representation in a Bayesian belief network to assess imperilment of riverine fishes

ECOSPHERE, 15(1).

author keywords: aquatic conservation; decision support tool; Endangered Species Act; imperilment risk; Piebald Madtom; Species Status Assessment
TL;DR: The approach could standardize and expedite conservation status assessments, identify opportunities for early management intervention of at‐risk species and populations, and strategically reduce uncertainty by focusing monitoring and research on priority information gaps.
