Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Wilfrid Laurier University
$120,000.00
Northern Wildlife Biology
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Dr. Stewart¿s research will combine field studies and ecological forecasting tools to address the
global biodiversity crisis. Through both an understanding of ecological processes governing
biodiversity patterns, and the ability to project these patterns, her research will aid in making
adaptable natural resource use decisions. This research program will focus on terrestrial wildlife as
a link between northern biodiversity and human community well-being. The program will focus on
(1) establishment of a mammal monitoring network for Canada¿s boreal region and (2) using this
network and collaborators¿ data to prioritize effective wildlife conservation strategies incorporating
land use and climate change projections.
