Hi! My name is Dr. Mary K. Kane.  I am currently a postdoctoral researcher studying dinoflagellate-parasitoid interactions in Mallorca at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA). I obtained my Ph.D. in Oceanography in 2019 from the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island.  My research interests are:

• Development of novel methods to observe individual phytoplankton and zooplankton in situ and in the laboratory
• Individual phytoplankton and zooplankton behaviors and physiology
• Changes in zooplankton and phytoplankton populations, community compositions, and predator-prey interactions under various environmental conditions
• Distributions and abundances of phytoplankton and zooplankton populations in different regions
• Micro- to macro-scale biological, biogeochemical, and biophysical interactions
• Long-term ecological trends
