MSC OR PHD OPPORTUNITIES
Grad Student
21 April 2025
Altered spatial strategies in disturbed landscapes: adaptive or maladaptive responses? BACKGROUND: Anthropogenic disturbance and climate change threatens numerous species by disrupting important trophic relationships and by altering the behaviour of impacted species. How animals respond to any perceived threat or stimulus is predicated on that species’ cue-response system - how an animal reacts when presented with a particular stimulus. The ability for individuals to alter their response to change is known as behavioral plasticity. Such plastic responses should have evolved to maximize fitness when animals face changes in ecological contexts. Anthropogenic change such as disturbance from mining and logging represents...
MSc on investigating plant-insect community dynamics across deep time and environmental changes
Grad Student
21 April 2025
MSc Project Description:Plant-insect communities are a fundamental aspect of all terrestrial ecosystems, underpinning food webs, community structure, and agricultural systems. However, our current understanding of how plant-insect communities respond to environmental upheaval is incomplete; especially in our understanding of community recovery and restructuring after such events. Climate projections indicate that with increasing temperatures, our planet is likely to experience dramatic restructuring of terrestrial ecosystems, making a better understanding of potential plant-insect community responses critical to conservation and agricultural planning. Recent advancements in the synthesis of paleontology and neontology enable us to assess such community processes through multiple approaches. This M.Sc....

MSC OPPORTUNITY: MOOSE MOVEMENT AND FORAGE SELECTION IN NORTHERN ONTARIO WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR PREDATION RISK AND APPARENT COMPETITION WITH THREATENED CARIBOU
Grad Student
28 March 2025
BACKGROUND: Boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are threatened in Ontario and face continued declines due to anthropogenic disturbance, change in forest composition, climate change, and other factors. Anthropogenic disturbance changes forest composition by decreasing coverage of old growth conifer forest and increasing cover of young seral stage forest. Vegetation changes increase populations of moose (Alces alces) which in turn results in an increase in predator populations such as wolves (Canis lupus) and increased incidental predation on caribou through apparent competition. Apparent competition is a primary driver of in caribou population decline in Western Canada. Continued economic expansion in Ontario’s Far...
