The Bonier Lab
BEHAVIOUR · ECOLOGY · EVOLUTION · PHYSIOLOGY
Overview
Our research explores how organisms cope with diverse challenges like changing temperatures, disease, competition, and urbanization. We approach this aim from a number of perspectives, often investigating plastic changes in behaviour, physiology, and life history to better understand adaptations to challenges.
RESEARCH AREAS
JOIN US
I am interested in recruiting motivated graduate students who are passionate about biology, whose background & interests align with our current research areas.
NOTE: Unfortunately, I am currently only able to recruit students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, or who have outside funding. The next potential openings in my lab for graduate students will be fall 2026.
