EducationB. Sc. Bishop's University (1983) Ph. D. Ecology, University of Ottawa (1987) Postdoctorate, McGill University ResearchThe goal of my research program in ecology is to link the morphological and physiological characteristics of individuals to the structure and dynamics of communities. For this purpose, the emphasis lies on interspecific comparisons. Our work focuses on the determining factors of growth rate, production of grain and competitive interactions of wild species. This includes the study of gaseous exchanges, mineral nutrition, secondary substances and morphology. The purpose is to link these characteristics by statistic modelling.QCBS studentsChiara CheloPh.D. Xavier LamontagneM.Sc.
