Welcome to the Aubry Lab
Our approach to science, which combines empirical and theoretical investigations, addresses vertebrate responses to environmental change. Overarching research themes include:
1) Quantifying the impacts of anthropogenic factors on the demography, ecology, and micro-evolution of wild populations;
2) Understanding the demographic and physiological processes that mediate variation in individual responses to environmental change and evaluate how those scale-up to affect population, community, and ecosystem changes;
3) Measuring and predicting how wild populations respond to management actions and conservation practices.
Population Ecology in the Anthropocene
We apply this research to a wealth of ecosystems (coastal, temperate, mountain, alpine, and polar) and taxa (mainly vertebrates). Our research calls for the analyses of longitudinal data and methodologies that stem from demography, population ecology, and life history evolution theory.
