GUEST PRESENTATION This year’s speaker is Dr. Adam C. Algar (he/him), Associate Professor, Department of biology, Lakehead University Talk Title: Commanding the Dark: Learning about life, death, and love from frogs on the edge of their world Talk Description: In this talk, Adam will discuss work by his research group drawing on physiology, evolutionary ecology, and bioacoustics that aims to understand how Eastern Gray Treefrogs survive (or not), thrive (or not), and reproduce (or not) at the very northern edge of the geographical range, where winters are long, summers are short and habitats are rapidly changing. Biography: Adam Algar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Lakehead University. Before joining Lakehead in 2021, he has held faculty and research positions in the UK and USA. Dr. Algar studies how species’ physiology, ecology and behaviour determine geographical range limits and how those limits change through time and across different landscapes. This work combines thermal and functional ecology with large-scale ecological and evolutionary models. He has worked with a range of study systems, including lizards in the Caribbean, the Canary Islands and Southeast Asia; invasive crayfish in the UK; and human plague in Madagascar. His current research focuses on amphibians in the boreal transition zone, especially the Eastern Gray Treefrog.
