The Gonzalez Lab @ McGill

Welcome

Our research is broadly focused on the causes and consequences of biodiversity change. 

We are developing a framework for biodiversity science and its application. 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--by employing a range of model and non-model systems.
