Bio/Research

Dr. Norris is an ecologist interested in behaviour, conservation, and evolution of migratory animals. His lab addresses a variety of topics including effects of climate change and habitat loss throughout the annual cycle in seabirds and songbirds, the role of migration networks and seasonal interactions in predicting changes in population size, the development of optimal conservation plans for a range of migratory species, the costs and benefits of migration, and life-history trade-offs between different periods of the annual cycle.

Norris' research integrates behavioural and demographic field research with landscape ecology, theoretical and empirical modeling, and biogeochemistry. His lab conducts field research in a number of locations including Algonquin Park, the BC Pacific coast, Costa Rica, the Bay of Fundy, and right here on the University of Guelph campus.
