Zoë Lindo

Dr. Zoë Lindo is a Professor in the Department of Biology at The University of Western Ontario, leading the Lindo Lab focused on soil biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships. Her research integrates community ecology, ecosystem ecology, and taxonomy to study boreal forests and peatlands under climate change. She supervises graduate and undergraduate students, emphasizing field experience and independent research skills.

Education details are not explicitly provided, but her academic profile indicates advanced research qualifications in ecological sciences. Current lab activities include the BRACE experiment near White River, Ontario, collaborating with federal and provincial partners.

Research interests span soil fauna (mites, springtails), microbial activity, decomposition processes, and climate change impacts. Notable projects include global soil biodiversity observatory initiatives and contributions to the Global Soil Biodiversity Conference 2026 in Victoria, Canada.

Lab members include PhD/MSc candidates like Emily and Emelie, and undergraduates like Jay Ing. Recent collaborations involve researchers from Radboud University (Netherlands) under Western-Radboud grants. Publications focus on peatland dynamics, soil food webs, and climate-driven biodiversity shifts.
