Patterns of biodiversity are dependent on environmental heterogeneity; that is, environmental spatial structure. The organization and configuration of a community’s environment will greatly affect its richness and diversity. In the case of amphibians, they are highly sensitive to... Read More →

In predator-dense environments, prey species must be able to optimize their foraging ability and reproductive output while maintaining high investment into predator-avoidance behaviours in order to avoid the accumulation of lost opportunity costs. In the context of mating, chronic... Read More →

La modélisation en trois dimensions (3D) de spécimens biologiques nécessite généralement l’utilisation de scanners. Bien que ces techniques soient performantes et précises, elles ne sont pas exemptes de défauts : leur coût élevé et leur taille imposante pose notamment... Read More →

All species have limited geographic distributions, constrained by their abiotic and biotic environments. Biotic interactions can strongly affect species ranges, yet their role is tricky to pin down. This is especially true for species that rely strongly on others, such as parasites... Read More →

The North American beaver (Castor canadensis) is a specialized rodent with the ability to drastically alter ecosystems by building dams and lodges, as well as alter forest communities through their foraging behaviors. In fact, the beaver is a herbivorous generalist with clear preferences... Read More →
