David "Bo" Bunnell is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and a Research Fishery Biologist at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center. His expertise lies in ecosystem science management, particularly focusing on trophic interactions and the effects of anthropogenic stressors, climate change, and nonindigenous species in aquatic environments. Bunnell’s research investigates food-web interactions in the Great Lakes and strives to understand the complex relationships between environmental changes, such as nutrient reductions in phytoplankton populations, and the dynamics of zooplankton communities and native fish production. His work is supported by the EPA and includes efforts towards the restoration of coregonines in the Great Lakes, where he emphasizes the historical habitat, genetics, and ecological function crucial for the survival of species like cisco and bloater. Bunnell is also involved in global inland fisheries research, examining the underreporting of harvests and developing techniques to estimate yields and assess the impact of climate change and land use on fisheries.
