Isaac Eckert

I am a PhD candidate at McGill University in Dr. Laura Pollock's lab. In my PhD, I am interested in how species interactions could influence how species respond to climate change and what this means for biodiversity conservation here in Canada. Specifically, I aim to answer 3 main questions critical to the future of Canadian biodiversity:

• How do species interactions influence climate-driven range shifts in Canadian species? 

• How can we translate the threats posed by climate change on species distributions into conservation decisions and priorities?

• How can we use species interactions, together with citizen science data, to infer biogeographic patterns in community assembly?
