Research Program
Our lab focuses on the function and underlying mechanisms of acoustic communication and spatial cognition in several small mammal species. We have ongoing research at several Canadian field sites including; Whitemud Creek Ravine and Sheep River Provincial Park with North American red squirrels, Burnaby and Richmond with Douglas squirrels, and Kananaskis Provincial Park with American pika. We also have an international field site on the isle of Arran, Scotland where we study Eurasian red squirrels.
