معرفی
Joey Bernhardt is an Assistant Professor at the University of Guelph, affiliated with the Bernhardt Lab. His research focuses on understanding the drivers of biodiversity change and their consequences for human well-being, leveraging metabolic processes as a unifying framework. He employs interdisciplinary approaches combining theoretical, experimental, and synthetic methods to study ecological responses to global change.
Education:
- BSc in Biology, Brown University (2009)
- PhD in Ecology, University of British Columbia (2018)
- Postdoctoral Researcher, Yale University & University of British Columbia (2018–2022)
Research Interests: Dr. Bernhardt investigates how metabolic processes shape organismal, community, and ecosystem-level responses to environmental change. Key areas include thermal biology, climate change impacts on species distributions, ecosystem services, and human-environment interactions. His work bridges ecological theory with applied challenges like biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.
Research Trends: Recent publications explore thermal limits of disease vectors, metabolic theory advancements, and experimental insights into climate variability effects. Themes include global change biology, ecological observatory networks, and biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships.
Labs & Recruitment: The Bernhardt Lab at the University of Guelph focuses on global change solutions. They actively recruit graduate students and postdoctoral researchers for Fall 2023, emphasizing training in open science practices and interdisciplinary methodologies.
