Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Felicia S. Osburn's research investigates the ecological and physiological factors influencing cyanobacteria, particularly their role in harmful algal blooms. Her work examines how nutrient availability, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus ratios, affects toxin production and growth dynamics in both nitrogen-fixing and non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. Osburn has also explored the influence of resource nitrogen supply on the eco-physiological traits and ionome of diazotrophic cyanobacteria. Her publications also address broader ecological concepts, including nonlinear thinking and the application of threshold elemental ratios across ecological levels, and the spatial distribution of phytoplankton in relation to environmental variables. She has also studied iron variations and their relevance to phytoplankton ecology in reservoirs. Osburn's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 16 total publications and 134 total citations. She has collaborated with researchers including Clay Prater, Halvor M. Halvorson, and Eli N. Wess.
