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.
Alix Brusseau (PhD candidate, BSc, MSc Rennes University, France)
Alix is testing the effects of predictable vs. unpredictable variance of public information availability on the cognitive ecology of prey and predator communities. Her work includes both laboratory experiments and field studies in Trinidad.
Emily Campbell (PhD candidate, BSc, Concordia University)
Emily is 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)
Alex will be joining the lab in September, 2025.
Julia Wein (MSc candidate, BSc McGill University)
Julia is testing the impacts of microhabitat complexity on the production and response to disturbance cues in 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.
Alexander Levesque (MSc candidate, BSc University of Toronto)
Alex is testing the physiological constraints of disturbance cue production and response in juvenile convict cichlids.
April Mansfield (MSc candidate, BSc Concordia University)
Variable predation risk and induced personality types in guppies.
Olivier Godin, Animal Care Technician
Olivier is the Animal Care Technician supervising all aspects of animal care and welfare and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Aquatics Facilities. He knows more about fish health, taxonomy, and practical fish care than one person should and is an exceptional resource!
