Understanding the redistribution of life.

Our natural world is changing faster than ever, posing new challenges to ecology and conservation science. In the Sunday Lab, we aim to understand the role of climate and global change on the distribution of biodiversity, through both direct and indirect ecological responses. We use data science and synthesis, theory, and controlled experiments to connect physiological responses of individuals to processes regulating population dynamics and the outcomes of ecological interactions and evolution. We also aim to understand the impacts of species' range shifts on people, and opportunities to mitigate these through conservation practice.

Feb. 20th, 2020: Very excited to be joining the Commonwealth Science Coneference next week co-organised by the Royal Society, the African Academy of Sciences, and Global Challenges Research Fund. Hope to learned and be inspired on building resilient ecosystems. You can follow free here.

Feb 3rd, 2020: Congrats to two stellar undergraduate researchers in the Sunday Lab for winning the BIOS2 Undergraduate Scholarship for Training in Computational Ecology. Stellar work Anya Mueller and Nikki Moore! Both fantastically skilled and eager to learn more.
Nov. 24th, 2020: Congratulations to post-post-doc Joey Bernhardt for receiving the L’Oreal-UNESCO-NSERC Women in Science Award! So well-deserved and an inspiration to many!

Oct. 9th, 2020: It's high time we welcomed the new Sunday lab members! Welcome to MSc student, Danielle MacRae (co-supervised by Eric Pederson at Concordia University)! Danielle's work will be on marine dispersal diversity and climate change. Welcome also to Directed Studies student Brit Van Ameron who is putting the systematic in systematic review!
Aug. 6, 2020: The Sunday Lab continues to meet from all different corners of the world. Loving the diversity of projects that we are working on this summer: Canadian eDNA surveys, community assembly theory, coral reef community change, climate-induced range shifts, intra-specific variation in thermal tolerance limits, and the role of MPAs in conferring climate resilience.
