Canada’s ‘major projects’ should not come at the cost of the environment

Excited to share our new paper: Predictions from evolutionary theory for urban environments. We brought together empiricists and mathematical theorists to find common ground on where and how we can work together to better understand urban evolution onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Predictions From Evolutionary Theory for Urban Environments

Urbanization drives rapid and extreme environmental change, profoundly shaping the ecology and evolution of populations. In this Perspective, we call for the integration and development of evolutiona...

At the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution meeting in Toronto, so many great talks using Song Meters to quantify avian biodiversity in urban and rural environments across Canada. @csee-scee.bsky.social @wildlifeacoustics.com

The meetings of the CSEE/SCÉÉ have benefitted from hundreds of volunteers who helped further ecology and evolution research in Canada. Here are those from the 2025 meeting in Sherbrooke. My contributions were to talk others into doing most of the work and suggesting the color of the T-shirts.

It might be #SCEECSEE20 anniversary, but it's also St. John's, NL 10th anniversary! We had rain, fog, a Newfoundlander dog at the mixer, a baby on a SWEEET panel, row houses, icebergs, gannets, screech ins, and more. It was a time! Photo credit to folks on that other app using the conf. hashtag.

Ma première rencontre de la SCEE remonte à 2012. À ce moment-là, mon introduction à la communauté d’écologie et d’évolution au Canada n’aurait pas pu être plus marquante: j’ai fait partie de plus de 1000 scientifiques qui ont marché sur la Colline du Parlement #DeathOfEvidence #SCEECSEE20

Every CSEE meeting is a fave memory for us, and this picture of Council at #CSEE2013 in Kelowna brings back fond memories. Thanks to past-prez Spencer Barrett for amassing a treasure-trove of memories about ecology and evolution in Canada and beyond barrett.eeb.utoronto.ca/groups/ #SCEECSEE20

Happy anniversary CSEE! I co-organised the first meeting with Graham Bell, in Montréal, in 2006. It was exciting to see the birth of this new Society. Now CSEE has reached maturity and I’m getting closer to retirement! Sad I’m not joining you this year

My first #CSEE meeting was in 2012. At that meeting my introduction to the ecology and evolution community in Canada could not have been more memorable than being a part of over 1000 scientists from #CSEE2012 that marched on Parliament Hill as part of the #DeathOfEvidence march in #SCEECSEE20.

A fond post-CSEE meeting memory was meeting with Prof. Graham Bell after #CSEE2025 in Sherbrooke, co-founder and the first president of CSEE. As we sipped espresso at his favourite cafe in Montreal he shared with me the story of how CSEE came to be 20 years ago. A magical moment #SCEECSEE20

A highlight of every CSEE meeting for me is getting to see so many past and present members of our lab, and seeing the amazing things they have done and outstanding ecologists and evolutionary biologists they have become. This photo from a few years ago in Montreal #SCEECSEE20

Joyeuse Journée internationale des femmes! Nous sommes reconnaissants envers les femmes extraordinaires qui dirigent (et qui ont dirigé) la SCEE, ainsi qu’envers toutes les femmes écologistes et biologistes de l’évolution à travers le Canada pour leur travail essentiel.

Happy International Women’s Day! We are grateful to the incredible women who lead (and have led) the Canadian Society of Ecology and Evolution, & to all the women ecologists & evolutionary biologists across Canada for their important work. You help make our society, country, & planet a better place!

☘️NEW PAPER☘️ I am incredibly excited to announce that the centrepiece of my PhD was just published in Ecological Monographs!

JOBS IN BIOLOGY: I'm giving a lecture on careers in biology next week for our students. I'd love to hear your perspective on the 3 most important things that you think impress potential employers? #biologyjobs #careers

Fabulous society. Join! And not just Canadians. The annual meeting is my favourite of all conferences and we love to have our non-Canadian friends join us.
