PhD Oral Defense of Am茅lie Gr茅goire Taillefer, Department of Natural Resource Sciences
The goal of this thesis was to describe biodiversity and community composition of Diptera in wetlands across Quebec. Three approaches to community analysis were used to describe patterns: taxonomic identity, functional traits, and phylogenetic relationships. Diptera were sampled using standardized methods (pan traps, sweeping) across three types of wetlands (marsh, swamp, bog) in the Montreal region, and in 15 bogs distributed in three Quebec ecoregions.
Everyone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
