Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Trent University
$200,000.00
Integrative Wildlife Conservation, Bioinformatics, and Ecological Modeling
FY 2023-24
Summary
The CRC will execute a research program that is strategically designed to fill important gaps in environmental monitoring, improve understanding of ecological processes, and forecast likely future changes and viability of populations and ecosystems. Focusing on the boreal forest and amphibians, the program will establish ground-breaking studies assessing population trends and abundance, dissecting plant-herbivore, predator-prey and host-parasite interactions, and projecting future population and ecosystem dynamics under a range of scenarios. These innovative efforts will support training of high quality personnel and culminate in many impactful peer-reviewed papers as well as books. Collectively, this work will have a major impact on ecology and conservation biology.
