PhD biology candidate Amy Teffer from New England is one of more than six dozen authors, including UVic fisheries ecologist Francis Juanes, of a new study on the foraging habits of the world’s shark populations. She calls UVic “the obvious choice” for her doctorate.
A UVic molecular biologist has gained new insights into how environmental contaminants may disrupt thyroid systems. The discovery was made while assembling the genome of the North American bullfrog.
Biological oceanographer Diana Varela is studying the marine diatoms of Saanich Inlet, just north of campus. These unicellular lifeforms are the crux of ecosystems both aquatic and terrestrial. Part of a larger group of microscopic algae known as phytoplankton, diatoms drift across the top layer of oceans, seas and lakes.
Three researchers known for their passion and commitment to some of the most significant issues facing the country and the planet have been named to the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists.
