Dr. Nicholas Jones (Nick) Research Scientist | River and Stream Ecology Lab Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Adjunct Professor Trent University Environmental & Life Science Graduate Program 2003 - PhD University of Alberta, Ecology 1997 - BSc H. University of Guelph, Pure and Applied Ecology 1993 - Sir Sandford Fleming College, Fish and Wildlife Technology Research in the River and Stream Ecology Lab focuses on the ecology and management of flowing waters. We strongly believe that understanding rivers requires a transdisciplinary ecosystem approach that combines ecology, hydrology, geomorphology and that incorporates various levels of temporal and spatial resolution e.g., landscape ecology and GIS. My students, collaborators, and I are interested in the interaction of stream fishes and invertebrates at the population and community levels with their habitat. We can be also found scraping rocks for algae and examining organic matter dynamics. Laboratory and field experiments are combined with broad-scale comparisons of the structure and function of flowing waters. Much of our research is applied in nature which serves to better the understanding and management of Ontario's flowing waters. Basic science is still needed in many cases to address applied issues. Many of our projects contain some element of restoration ecology. I like fishing and
the spectacular places it takes me. I grew up on the Niagara River, went to
school in Kawarthas and then |
