Dr. Grant E. Brown (BSc University of Lethbridge, PhD Memorial University of Newfoundland)
Depending on the question being addressed, I am a behavioural, chemical and/or cognitive ecologist. Using a combination of laboratory and field experiments, our research group examines the role of chemosensory information in the behavioural decisions of predator and prey species, especially under conditions of uncertain ecological risks.
Emily Campbell (PhD candidate, BSc, Concordia University)
Emily is testing the effects of uncertainty of risk vs. reward on the cognitive ecology of prey fishes.
Jenna Domenicano (PhD candidate, BSc, Concordia University)
Jenna is examining the links between morphological adaptations to predation risk and how they may enhance or constrain contextual plasticity in prey fishes.
Alex Kack (PhD candidate, BSc, MSc Université de Montréal)
TBD
Antoine Lavillonniere (PhD candidate, MSc Paris Saclay University)
Antoine is conducting laboratory and field studies, comparing the cognitive scope of invasive vs. native fishes.
Lou Cauchi (PhD candidate, MSc, University of Sorbonne, Paris Nord)
Lou will be joining the lab in January, 2026.
Andrew Kemp (MSc candidate, BSc McGill University)
co-supervisor: Dr. Nicola Smith, Concordia University
Andrew will be testing the impact of thermal stress on the foraging behaviour of invasive round gobies.
Grace Wallace (MSc candidate, BSc University of Winnipeg)
Grace is testing the impact of variable/unpredictable predation risk on the morphology, brain shape, and behaviour in guppies.
April Mansfield (MSc candidate, BSc Concordia University)
Variable predation risk and induced personality types in guppies.
