Polar and Boreal Ecology
EF 2023-24
Résumé
One of the greatest uncertainties in forecasting the effects of global
environmental change on ecosystems is related to understanding how it will
affect species interactions such as predation; and the Canada Research
Chair in Polar and Boreal Ecology responds to such need.
The innovative program investigates the role of predator-prey interactions in
mediating climatic impacts on arctic-nesting birds and their predators. In a
second term, the Chair will integrate trophic interactions under direct and
indirect human perturbations into a single framework, strengthening our
understanding of the population dynamics of migratory birds and their
predators.
