We aim to understand and predict the effects of temperature on aquatic and insect populations and communities. Our work is grounded in ecological and evolutionary theory. We use field and laboratory experiments, syntheses of published literature, and physical and online natural history collections to address questions related to population- and community-level responses to warming.

Ongoing research
Büyükyilmaz: How does temperature affect insect body size, wing length, and flight? Kim: Effects of warming on nutrient availability at the community level Klasios: What are the common microplastics found in lakes in BC? What are the combined effects of warming and microplastics on lake health? Thormeyer: Has insect diversity changed over time? In what way? Tseng: How will plankton communities evolve and change with ongoing warming? How can urban green spaces contribute to insect conservation? |
Lab News
Dec 2020 Congratulations to Carla Di Filippo for successfully defending her MSc! Nov 2020 A belated welcome to Jihyun Kim - the newest MSc student in the Tseng lab. Congratulations to Natasha for being awarded an Environment and Climate Change Canada grant to study microplastics in BC lakes (woohoo!). Lots of projects getting finished, and papers & theses submitted. Great job team! |
