معرفی
Paul Savary is a Horizon Post-doctoral Fellow and Junior Associate at the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre (LSRC) within Concordia University's Department of Biology. His research focuses on understanding biodiversity patterns through environmental, ecological, and spatial processes, employing graph-theoretical methods. Key projects include analyzing metacommunity structures and urban green space impacts on ecological connectivity. He collaborates with Jean-Philippe Lessard and Pedro Peres-Neto, and his work integrates landscape and genetic data to address ecological connectivity challenges.
Research Interests: Paul’s work bridges theoretical and applied ecology, emphasizing graph-based approaches to study dispersal networks, urban biodiversity, and genetic patterns. He explores how landscape features influence species distribution and gene flow in fragmented environments. His projects often involve simulations and spatial modeling tools like Graphab and R's graph4lg package.
Publications Highlight: Recent studies (2023–2025) focus on validating graph-based models using genetic and presence-absence data, optimizing landscape resistance metrics, and assessing urban policies for habitat connectivity. These contributions advance methodologies for ecological connectivity analysis in both natural and urbanized landscapes.
Awards: No specific awards are listed, though his research aligns with grants supporting ecological sustainability and urban biodiversity initiatives.
Advising & Grants: No advising or grant information is explicitly provided. His work is supported through postdoctoral fellowships at LSRC.
Labs/Teams: Based at the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre, he contributes to interdisciplinary projects addressing ecological challenges in urban and natural ecosystems.
