However, for minerotrophic peatlands (fens), where peat conditions are richer, this approach is not suitable as it does not promote the return of an ecosystem dominated by sedges and mosses. Given the complexity of the hydrological context of fens, a landscape-scale restoration approach is envisioned,...

Offre de doctorat: Migration assistée et communautés végétales - de la facilitation à la compétition
Grad Student
20 September 2024
La mésadaptation potentielle des arbres face au climat projeté pose un risque considérable pour les forêts et les services qu’elles procurent. La migration assistée est un des outils considérés pour pallier cette situation, visant à déplacer des populations ou essences d’arbres vers des zones où le climat actuel et projeté devrait être plus favorable. Bien que ces arbres migrés entrent nécessairement en interaction avec d’autres espèces déjà présentes, ces dynamiques restent méconnues.Ce projet vise donc à mieux comprendre le rôle potentiel des interactions interspécifiques, tant de facilitation que de compétition, dans le succès de la migration assistée. À l’aide de...

PHD position in entomology, restoration ecology and biodiversity: Biodiversity and health of pollinating insects on restored mining sites in the boreal region
Grad Student
12 September 2024
Project description: Nested in the boreal forest, restored and revegetated mine tailings sites are open sites covered with flowering plants that can provide interesting habitats for many pollinating insects such as hoverflies, butterflies, bees and bumblebees. Reclamation using appropriate cover systems to contain mine tailings aims to control contamination of these sites prior to revegetation. However, it is questionable whether this reclamation will guarantee healthy habitats for the reestablishment of diverse insect communities. Pollinating insects are considered effective bioindicators of ecosystem health, due to their sensitivity to environmental stresses. The research project will take place on reclaimed mine tailings sites...

La restauration avec des techniques appropriées de confinement des rejets miniers vise à contrôler la contamination de ces sites avant végétalisation. Cependant, on se demande si cette restauration garantit des habitats sains pour le développement...
M.Sc. project in PLANT ECOLOGY (Forest edges)
Grad Student
11 September 2024
I am looking for an accomplished and motivated M.Sc. student to study the impact of harvest roads on nearby vegetation structure and wildlife habitat in Acadian forest in Nova Scotia. The fully-funded two-year project would begin in 2025 in the Masters in Applied Science program at Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, N.S. Connectivity for wildlife depends on habitat or vegetation structure, which can be impacted by edge influence from roads. The recent transition from clearcutting to an Ecological Forestry model in Nova Scotia requires more frequent harvesting interventions, which may increase the footprint of the road network. Vegetation next to road...

MSc Position in Litzgus Lab: Social behaviour of Painted Turtles during nesting
Grad Student
4 September 2024
Many oviparous reptiles nest in aggregations and with temporal synchrony, suggesting a fitness benefit to these aggregations. We found that Painted Turtles (PATU) in Algonquin Park preferred to nest in groups and that nest clustering is related to females cueing on conspecifics. This may reduce time on land exposed to predators and other hazards. Alternatively, there may be a genetic component to clustered nests. This MSc project will examine whether social information from dominant females guides PATU nesting decisions, to answer the question: Do population matriarchs lead the way to the best nest sites? Using nesting observations and genetic data,...

Future Coastal Ecosystem Scenarios Postdoctoral Position
Post-docs
30 August 2024
Project Context and Goals: Solutions are urgently needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit further planetary warming. Meeting Canada’s GHG emissions-reductions targets requires an accounting of all mitigation options, including Canada’s ocean carbon sinks. In coastal oceans, blue carbon ecosystems (salt marshes, seagrass meadows, kelp forests) sequester carbon from the atmosphere and ocean and store it in biomass and sediments. Uncertainty about ocean carbon reservoirs has hindered inclusion of these resources in Canada’s climate solutions portfolio, and prevented local jurisdictions from considering these benefits in decision-making processes. The primary goal of our collaborative Blue Carbon Canada research program, which...

The Baum Lab at the University of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) seeks to recruit a highly motivated PhD student to join our Kiritimati (Christmas Island) coral team and undertake fundamental research investigating coral reef resilience to climate change and local anthropogenic stressors. Research Context and Focus: Climate change-amplified marine heatwaves pose a direct threat to the long-term persistence of the world’s coral reefs, heightening the need for research that illuminates the factors underpinning the resilience of these ecosystems. At the same time, most reefs are impacted to some degree by local anthropogenic disturbance, but little research examines how global and...
