Biography

Dylan Fraser is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Concordia University. He completed his PhD as an NSERC Scholar at Université Laval from 2000 to 2005 and followed with a postdoctoral position at Dalhousie University from 2005 to 2009. His research interests focus on the integration of ecological and evolutionary principles within genetic frameworks to inform effective conservation management of natural populations and ecosystems. In particular, he investigates how ecological and evolutionary genetics shape population dynamics and responses to environmental changes, including climate change and habitat fragmentation. He emphasizes the importance of incorporating Indigenous knowledge alongside scientific perspectives in his work, most notably in the context of fisheries and wildlife management. His lab's research methodology is grounded in the eco-evo-gen framework, which aims to promote sustainable biodiversity conservation practices by rigorously analyzing the interplay between genetic diversity and environmental stresses.
