WelcomeOur research is broadly focused on the causes of biodiversity change and its consequences for ecosystem functions and services. As a consequence we have gained a better understanding of what it takes to mitigate biodiversity change.
We are developing a framework for biodiversity science and its application that connects science to society. To do that we create new theories on a range of topics from metacommunities to evolutionary rescue. We test and refine theory with experiments, in the lab and the field, that employ a range of model and non-model systems. Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science
