Bio
I grew up in Gaspé (QC), where I lived through the cod crisis, impacting strongly my philosophy and motivation, and shaping my approaches towards research and management. My long-term research interests lie at the interface of fish ecology, Arctic ecology, and ecological speciation. My research programs reflects this overall interest in elucidating complex ecological interactions with any tools at my dispositions (as a generalist ecologist) to allow innovative initiatives to take form.
