Researchers from the Centre for Ecosystem Management (CEM) at the University of Guelph recently led discussions on an emerging ecological concept at the annual meeting of the International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR) and Southern Canadian Aquatic Sciences (SCAS) in Winnipeg.

In a new synthesis paper recently published in Frontiers in Ecology & the Environment, researchers from the CEM examine the ecological structures and processes that help ecosystems withstand disturbances while continuing to provide the benefits that people and wildlife depend on.

Congratulations to our recent PhD graduate Dr. Ward, whose paper, published in Ecology Letters, was selected as one of the top three within the University of Guelph’s College of Biological Sciences.

New research led by one of our postdoctoral fellows, Dr. Kaleigh Davis, takes a step toward a more predictive understanding of network interactions in the face of climate warming by combining Modern Coexistence Theory with the Metabolic Theory of Ecology.

The Centre for Ecosystem Management recently met with the Lake Erie Management Unit last month to share updates on ongoing and planned research activities and to learn more about the MNR’s Lake Erie priorities, fisheries management objectives, and current initiatives.

New research led by ecologists at the Centre for Ecosystem Management (University of Guelph) is arguing that ecosystems are far more fluid than we once believed. In a changing world, ecological networks are constantly “rewiring” themselves as species alter who they interact with, where they feed, and how strongly they depend on one another.
