On September 7,聽thirty two AES undergraduate research awardees shared posters illustrating their summer research jobs.

Dean Anja Geitmann broke through the waves of animated conversation to congratulate the students for engaging in this inspiring science conversation and to award four researchers for their outstanding posters:

Sollio Agriculture has partnered with 香蕉视频 to test the benefits of PurYield, a new coated fertilizer which enhances nutrient uptake by plants. Researchers will compare it to commonly used uncoated urea fertilizer to assess its impact on corn grain growth, yield, and quality, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Previous trials showed a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The new study aims to validate these environmental benefits over five years, with funding from Sollio and a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. 聽

Scientists have been worried about the potential harms of microplastics for years. These small plastic particles less than 5 mm in length have been found everywhere because of plastic pollution 鈥� from the Earth鈥檚 deep oceans to remote regions in Antarctica, and even the seafood we eat. But, are microplastics really harmful?

Research published in Ecology took a closer look into the candy-striped spider鈥檚 diet and behaviour and found that these spiders use a variety of tactics to take down prey much larger than themselves, including sleeping bees and wasps.

Scientists are studying the diets of the oceans鈥� top predators as they change in response to their environments. This is because how much and what they eat can affect how ecosystems function.

And while researchers know that killer whales, also known as orcas, are the oceans鈥� apex predators, our understanding of their diet 鈥� particularly the quantity of each species they consume 鈥� remains incomplete. This is especially true for remote populations that cannot be observed year-round.

Three of the ten studies honoured by the award-winning science magazine have c

Congrats to Africa Ixmucane Flores-Anderson (Enhancing Land Cover Change Analysis in the Tropics) and Scott Sugden (Biogeochemical activity in pioneer soils at biological relevant scales), both of the Department of Natural Resources, who are among the group of twenty-two McGill graduate students who have earned the prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship this year.
