Anne-Sophie Caron - PhD candidate at Concordia University

Anne-Sophie studies trophic interactions related to forest pest species with cyclical outbreaks. She more precisely looks at the Forest Tent Caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria), a pest species known to affect aspen and maple trees, among others. She is interested in the impacts that different sources of mortality have on Forest Tent Caterpillar colonies during and just after outbreaks. Her PhD aims to provide more information on what causes the crash of a population and what keeps it at low density. Anne-Sophie spends most of her free time doing science communication work with different organisations like 500 Women Scientists MTL, Symposium for Women Entering Ecology and Evolution Today (SWEEET), The Beagle from Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science (QCBS) and ComSciCon-QC.  Twitter: @AnneSoCaron If you would like to get in touch with Anne-Sophie Caron by any other means, feel free to message us at: [email protected]
