Invited Speakers
Dr. Christina Davy - Assistant Professor, Carleton University
Dr. Christina Davy is an Assistant Professor at Carleton University, where her lab conducts research to inform the recovery of endangered species (mostly reptiles and bats). Building on the concept of aeroconservation, she is interested in defining aerial habitats and integrating these into conservation policy. She will share a series of studies her team recently conducted, using wildlife tracking tools to link critical habitats for endangered bats across their full annual cycle.
Dr. Art Rodgers - Research Scientist, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
Dr. Art Rodgers is a Research Scientist at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research in Thunder Bay where his primary research has been on the effects of forest management and other forms of natural and anthropogenic disturbance on moose and caribou. He served two terms as Canadian Section Representative to TWS Council. Art has been President of the Canadian Section and a member of their Board of Directors. He was the first Past-President of the Ontario Chapter when it was formed in 2012. He is currently TWS’ President Elect.
Dr. Greg Mitchell - Research Scientist, Environment and Climate Change Canada
Dr. Gregory Mitchell is a research scientist at Environment and Climate Change Canada, and an Adjunct professor at Carlton University. Dr. Mitchell will be presenting his research on the conservation and migration of the Monarch Butterfly across Canada and North America.
