Calen defends

Posted on by

Another solid defence in our lab happened on Sept 9. Calen defended his thesis on the road ecology of snakes in fine order. External on the exam was Dr. James Baxter-Gilbert from Mount Allison University. It was a great defence with lots of interesting discussion.

Calen’s thesis represents the culmination of nearly 11 years of uninterrupted road ecology work in the White Lake Basin by our lab. He incorporated the historical data from the theses of Stephanie Winton (2018) and Jade Spruyt (2024), while adding on his own data on road kill rates, demography, and the behavioural ecology of The Big Three (rattlesnakes, gophersnakes, and racers). Congrats Calen.
