Kate Turner is a masters student at Queen's University in Kingston where she's working with Shelley Arnott and myself. Kate has big plans to investigate aspects of how dispersal and competition contribute to the structure of zooplankton communities. Kate's other official job over the course of her masters is to continually remind me of all the ways that aquatic and terrestrial communities differ. Animals move. Got it. |

I can't seem to get rid of Jessica Wilson. This is year three that Jessica has been with the lab as either a volunteer, summer NSERC student, or Work Study student. We still have two more years to convince her that graduate school is a better option than medical school. Right now, Jessica is working on two projects with us, the first exploring the impact of local seed rain on invasion resistance, and the second on mycorrhizal contributions to rooting depth variation among plant species (also with Pedro Antunes). |

Ashley Clingen has joined the lab working on her honours thesis project. What will Ashley work on, other than looking wind-swept in front of the forest? Only time will tell. Okay, I might also tell. What else can we say about Ashley. She likes the outdoors and thinks that whole-stem phototropism in tree saplings is "So-Cool". Fortunately, so do I. |

Kaitlyn Teller is back for another year of gruelling computer work as a volunteer in our lab. Hooray, I didn't scare them all off! Kaitlyn's goal this year is to solve all my computer-related problems before Michael (see below) does. I think I'll let them fight it out. |

Michael Kendall has joined our lab with an interest in taking his already prolific computing skills and applying them to the field of biology. Whether he knows it or not, Michael is considering working on theoretical modeling of competitive intransitivity. |

Daniel MacDonald has just joined our lab and will be working on aggregating data to test for differences in community assembly patterns among native and introduced species. Welcome aboard Daniel! |

Karen Dante is an honours thesis student from Queen's University in Kingston and is working with myself and Lonnie Aarssen to tackle questions concerning whether plant species are organized with respect to flowering phenology. For the next four months, Karen plans to muck around in scratchy old-fields at the Queen’s University Biological Station hoping to solve the mysteries of the plant world. At night she wears even bigger sunglasses and fights crime. |

G-Joe Marquis has never been clearly photographed, and hasn't really left our lab, although it's harder for him to volunteer from Korea. G-Joe is off for a year of fun and frolicking on the Korean peninsula (stick to the south end G-Joe). He'll be back next year and will hopefully take up his rightful place as lab-goofball. We miss you G-Joe! |

Anthony Naccarato is back with us for another summer, this time working as a summer NSERC student in the lab, and helping Brandon work on his tennis backhand over the odd lunch-hour. Welcome back Anthony. Anthony is working on a project examining the effect of disturbance on predicted models of competitive species sorting. |
