James Roth

James Roth is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Science. His research focuses on Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on food web dynamics, predator-prey interactions, and the ecological roles of ecosystem engineers like red and Arctic foxes. He employs stable isotope analysis and geospatial technologies to study nutrient cycling, population responses to climate change, and cross-habitat interactions.

• Key Research Areas: Food web dynamics, ecosystem engineering, predator-prey relationships, stable isotope ecology, Arctic marine and terrestrial systems

Recent publications highlight his work on marine-terrestrial subsidies, beluga whale energetics, and fox-mediated vegetation changes. Roth is affiliated with the Churchill Fox Project, using innovative methods like satellite imagery and drone technology for wildlife monitoring.
