Laboratoire d'écologie des eaux douces
Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR)
Our research group study the effects of cumulative (multiple) stressors on freshwater populations, communities, and ecosystems, hoping to generate knowledge that will help understand and mitigate biodiversity loss in landscapes impacted by human activities (e.g. areas of intensive agriculture). To that end, we combine experiments (lab & mesocosms), field surveys, and data synthesis/statistical modelling to assess how stream (and sometimes lake!) organisms are affected by stressors such as watershed deforestation, agricultural pollution, and climate change. We generally do applied-ish research and strive to collaborate closely with government organizations, not-for-profit organizations, and other end users. Some projects we currently work on include :

We are part of UQTR's research center on watershed science (RIVE: Centre de recherche sur les interactions bassins versants-écosystèmes aquatiques), of the Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire en Limnologie (GRIL), and of the Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science (QCBS).
