Dr. Jenilee GobinJenilee is a postdoctoral fellow in the Integrative Wildlife Conservation Lab, where she assists in supporting graduate students in the lab while conducting her own research. She is also a course instructor with both the Trent School of the Environment and the Bioenvironmental Monitoring Graduate Program. Her research broadly aims to address questions in the field of evolutionary ecology to inform conservation and management. She seeks to contribute to our knowledge of how ecological and evolutionary processes combine to influence individual traits (e.g., life history, morphology, physiology, behaviour) and trait variation, and how these scale-up and feedback into shaping population-, community-, and ecosystem-level dynamics and evolutionary processes that impact resilience and sustainability. Her approaches primarily involve using field observations and long-term monitoring data combined with mathematical and simulation modelling. Projects she is currently working on include investigating the population genomics of Canada lynx and potential role of local adaptation to future responses to climate change, the role of the functional response in determining quantitative properties of food webs, and individual variation in snowshoe hares’ ability to habituate to predation risk.
