Repeatability of structure within populations of the Trinidadian guppy

I study the repeatability of community structure in the Trinidadian Guppy System.

I investigate the relationship between individuals within a population, and how that changes over time. This repeatability of observations may have important implications for the conclusions we draw from within this system.

I studied marine and freshwater biology at the University of Guelph before coming to McGill to pursue a master's in biology.

I love fish and being outdoors, and I'm excited to continue to research aquatic systems!

Land Acknowledgement

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.


Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
