EducationResearchInvestigating the dynamics of Arctic and sub-Arctic terrestrial communities at multiple spatio-temporal scales in order to better understand their sensitivity to anthropogenic perturbations. Such program is required to assess the extent of climate-induced effects on tundra ecosystems, which are experiencing a concomitant disappearance of their key herbivores (e.g. lemmings) and an increasing presence of boreal species (e.g. red foxes)QCBS studentsRaphaël LavoiePostdoctoral fellow Sylvain ChristinPh.D. Laurie MaynardPh.D. Marianne Gousy-LeblancM.Sc.
