PhD Projects

These are the research projects I worked on during my PhD at the University of Guelph, in the laboratory of Dr. M. Alex Smith.

No evidence of a common pattern of taxon or phylogenetic diversity across elevation for beetle (Coleoptera) families

Heat tolerance decreases and cold tolerance increases with elevation for a species-rich insect family on a tropical volcano

Changes in cuticular lipids of Staphylinidae community across elevation at the Área de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Ant thermal tolerance along a field-forest gradient in Guelph, Ontario
