My mission is broadly cast in creating fundamental scientific knowledge via innovative science that links insects, spiders, landscapes, and their conservation in support of sustainable ecosystems and human well-being. Our work takes place in the rivers of Memphis, salt marshes of Louisiana, and ecosystems in Southern Africa (Zimbabwe and South Africa).

The questions we are asking include: What do bats eat in different biomes? What are the effects of environmental disasters (oil spills) on the foraging ecology of terrestrial vertebrates like seaside sparrow and marsh rice rats? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65cbb20d6553a947f514d44a/1708070563704-ECPWIX5YH9YS6QI1NCMW/image-asset.jpeg Research - Ecosystem Connections Aquatic insects and riparian spiders are ubiquitous and abundant invertebrates that occur at the water-land interface. Despite their small size, as aquatic insects move from water to land, they represent a large contribution to ecosystem carbon and nitrogen fluxes, affect food web interactions on land, and alter the composition of plant and animal communities. For the past 5 years we have been using annual insect emergence from rivers in South Africa to elucidate the coupling between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and how those couplings are shaped by anthropogenic stressors. https://www.sydneymoyo.com/graduate-questionnaire daily 0.75 2024-02-27 https://www.sydneymoyo.com/prospective-students daily 0.75 2025-10-06 https://www.sydneymoyo.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65cbb20d6553a947f514d44a/4ed64f3e-5b47-4d46-ac53-424e18a804ab/IMG_5410.jpg People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65cbb20d6553a947f514d44a/3d60c922-8284-4d36-b292-54fb8778f133/Moyo+pic%281%29%282%29.jpg People https://www.sydneymoyo.com/undergraduate-questionnaire daily 0.75 2024-02-27 https://www.sydneymoyo.com/food-webs daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://www.sydneymoyo.com/ecosystem-connections daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://www.sydneymoyo.com/conservation daily 0.75 2025-02-22 https://www.sydneymoyo.com/sydney-moyo daily 0.75 2025-03-18
