Shannon McCauley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. She holds a Bachelor's degree from Bowdoin College, a Master's from the University of Florida, and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on freshwater ecology, particularly the processes at various spatial scales that affect community structure and species distributions. At the local scale, she is particularly interested in predator-prey interactions and how these interactions shape community structure. Regionally, her work investigates the role of dispersal in shaping communities and species distributions. McCauley's recent research examines how these processes interact across scales, employing a broad set of approaches including extensive surveys of aquatic communities and a range of experiments from mesocosm-level to landscape-level manipulations.
