Biography

Dr. Grant E. Brown is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Concordia University. He specializes in aquatic behavioral chemical ecology, focusing on the interactions between prey and predators and the factors influencing these dynamics. His research centers on how prey species, such as Trinidadian guppies and convict cichlids, utilize public information to navigate ecological uncertainties, particularly in light of the challenges posed by global climate change and habitat degradation. Dr. Brown aims to understand the cognitive behavioral responses of aquatic species in the face of predation risks and other environmental stressors. He emphasizes the importance of studying not only the behavior of individual species but also the broader ecological impacts of anthropogenic and natural changes in habitat conditions. His work contributes significantly to understanding ecological balance and behavioral adaptations of aquatic organisms.
