Jonathan Diamond is a Biology Master’s student at McGill University. He is passionate about ecology and strives to understand nature’s interactions as a complex system. His research is focused on studying how the beavers’ skull shape changes across North America as a function of the environment in which this fascinating animal is found.
We start by defining ecology as a science and how technology has changed the study of ecosystems. Then, we discussed the use of traditional knowledge in ecology. We delve into beavers, and how these iconic animals beloved by Canadians are important ecological engineers. Then, we discuss Jonathan’s research on beaver skull morphology. Finally, we talk about the concept of biodiversity and the role of humans as a part of ecological systems.
