Examining predation risk and antipredator responses of snowshoe hares in Northern Canada’s boreal forest
DownloadFall 2020
Predators limit prey populations not only through direct killing of prey but also through changes in behavior due to predation risk and negative fitness consequences that result. Prey species are known to respond to both predictable (e.g. risky times and places) and unpredictable variation (e.g....

Past, present, and future: Non-consumptive effects of the ectoparasitic mite Macrocheles subbadius on adult and larval Drosophila nigrospiracula
DownloadFall 2024
Parasites can indirectly impact hosts through non-consumptive effects (NCEs) via changes in behaviour, morphology, and/or physiology. These responses can be understood in terms of the ecology of fear framework. My study system involves a cactophilic fruit fly (Drosophila nigrospiracula) and a...
