Hello and welcome to the website of the Arcese lab. We address a wide range of questions related to the ecology and evolution of small populations and the indirect effects of humans on the ecology, evolution and conservation of bird, mammal and plant populations.Check out our core research areas and lab members profiles.
Research Areas
Our island ecosystem offers a large range of study sites that have allowed us to both document the deleterious impacts of human land use and commensal species on the persistence of small populations, and to develop management plans to ameliorate these effects on biodiversity loss. Read more…
The people in our lab come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wide range of research interests spanning from demography, genetics and behavior of island populations to historical ecology, biogeography of meadow patches, post-release site fidelity of marmots and systematic conservation area design.
