Supervisor: Andrew Gonzalez
Research Summary:
Working at the interface between plant functional ecology, landscape ecology, biogeography and ecological modelling, I am parameterising a modeling tool to simulate landscape and biodiversity dynamics in the Monteregie (south west Quebec), a biodiversity-rich area with a highly fragmented landscape.

Research Summary:
Research interests focus on understanding the micro-evolutionary processes that determine adaptive diversification in natural populations.
 

GRAY, Suzanne M.

suzanne{dot}gray{at}mcgill{dot}ca
Supervisors: Lauren Chapman
Research Summary:
I am interested in understanding how diversity is maintained in nature, especially in the face of increasing environmental stressors. One of the major threats to aquatic life is the increase in turbidity associated with deforestation and pollution. I am testing for the effects of turbidity on growth, morphology, and especially mating behaviour in Pseudocrenilabrus multicolour victoriae, a widespread African cichlid found in the Lake Victoria basin.

Supervisor: Andrew Gonzalez
Research Summary:
I am an ecologist interested in how biodiversity persists in human-modified landscapes.My research focuses on relating the dynamics of ecological communities to the spatial structure of their habitat networks.

Research Summary:
I am interested in microevolutionary consequences following the
pollution of natural habitats. My study involves fish living in oil
contaminated streams in southern Trinidad.
