Un très bel article sur nos travaux cet hiver par Radio-Canada...à lire! ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/18724…

Cet été, nous avons échantillonné 26 lacs. Certains lacs étaient accessibles en voiture, d'autres en six roues, et certains n'étaient accessibles qu'à pied! Rien n'arrêtait notre excellente équipe, nous avons utilisé un mélange de packrafts, d'un zodiac gonflable, et d'un bateau!

This summer, we sampled 26 lakes. Some lakes were accessible by car, some lakes were accessible by six wheelers, and some lakes were accessible only by foot (hiking and bush walking)! Nothing stopped our amazing team: we used a mix of packrafts, an inflatable zodiac, and a boat!

We are hiring a PhD position: If you are interested in alpine lakes, winter/summer ecology, and salmonids (lake trout, brook trout and Arctic charr!!!) please check it out! Norway provides the best conditions (e.g., salary) I know for their PhD students! jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

This summer, our team hiked/sampled 26 lakes (yes, with all our material!) to collect eDNA. This tool will help us to quantify the diversity that exist in the Chic-Chocs alpines lakes. The diversity of these lakes is unknown as they are often hard to reach!

Before we all disappear, we are looking for a #postdoc or #PhD to work with ecological statistics and eDNA in alpine lakes! 🐟🫧 Starting 2023 (with flexibility) in collab with @guiblanchet3 and louise chavarie. International candidates welcome to apply! DM @guiblanchet3!

Thanuri won the GRIL video contest with her video she made about her summer field work in the Chic-Chocs "Summer life of a limnologist: what happens before, in between and after". Congratulation Thanuri Kasthuri Arachchi! tiktok.com/@gril_limnolog…

We are catching big fish during our winter field work! Matt Gilbert Leah Strople louise chavarie

We are half way into our winter sampling season! Last year, we had challenges to catch fish during the winter.......so we came we new ideas to catch fish, especially the small ones....we used traps and it worked! Leah Strople Thomas Jourdan louise chavarie Matt Gilbert

During our winter field work, we look at the entire alpine lake ecosystem, not just fish. We assess the physical aspect of the lake (e.g., temperature, nutrients), phytoplankton, zooplankton, and macro-invertebrates. Thomas Jourdan Leah Strople louise chavarie LP_Collin

Our biggest fish on this April fool day is no joke! We can find amazing lake trout in the Chic-Chocs! louise chavarie Leah Strople Thomas Jourdan Matt Gilbert LP_Collin

The last fish of this winter field work 2023! We had a great time sampling 4 different lakes of the Chic-Chocs! louise chavarie Leah Strople Matt Gilbert LP_Collin Thomas Jourdan

Soon, we are going to do our last summer field work of the project! Our summer program will include telemetry and our 6 lakes monitoring effort. Stay tuned for some fun days to come! @CanMountainNet

We are are so excited by this Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler we just installed this year in Lake Thibault, to monitor zooplankton in the water column through the year. Combined with our fish telemetry study, we are looking forward to next year results! @CanMountainNet

Our team is working hard sampling fish! Two lakes to go and we will be done our summer field season! @CanMountainNet Leah Strople Thomas Jourdan louise chavarie

This new Canadian Mountain podcast arrive just in time to celebrate the end of our field season! If you are interested to hear more about the aquatic ecosystems in the Chic-Chocs, listen to this! @CanMountainNet canadianmountainnetwork.ca/podcast/aquati…

We are working on a paper about winter ecology and we are flipping through our pictures from this winter field work... and we just found that beauty. We miss these fish! Leah Strople louise chavarie photo from Matt Gilbert

I'm so proud of Stephanie Blain new meta-analysis I supervised. Her research is truly impressive, I firmly believe it will shed light on aspects related to the repeatability of Coregonus and Salvelinus divergence. It's a must-read! Colin Adams Dolph Schluter doi.org/10.1111/geb.13…
