Christina Davy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University. Her research focuses on the complexities surrounding habitat loss, climate change, and biodiversity decline, especially as they pertain to the persistence and extinction of threatened species at local landscape scales. She investigates the synergistic effects of environmental changes, habitat modification, invasive species, disease, and pollution on wildlife pathogens and biodiversity conservation. Davy has also delved into aeroconservation, a developing field of study critical to understanding ecosystem balances. Her recent work includes examining how artificial night lighting due to urbanization impacts migratory species, as well as understanding the combined impacts of habitat loss and roads on reptile occupancy rates. Through her contributions to the understanding of wildlife responses to changing environments, Davy aims to inform conservation strategies and promote biodiversity preservation. She regularly publishes her findings in reputable scientific journals and is engaged with the ecological community through various research initiatives.
