Special Issue Commemorating the Life and Work of David L. G. Noakes

Submission status
Closed

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Environmental Biology of Fishes to honor the life and work of David L. G. Noakes. David´s interests were broad. He undertook research on numerous fish taxa (e.g., charrs, Pacific salmon, sturgeons) and studied diverse aspects of fish behavior and biology, collaborating with researchers from all over the world, and promoting and practicing mentorship and inclusivity in science.

    Lynn D. Bouvier received an MSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Guelph. After her graduate work, she began her career with Fisheries and Oceans Canada in the Great Lakes Laboratory for Fisheries and Aquatic Science, Burlington, Ontario. She is currently the Section Head of the Conservation Biology Section focused on managing research related to freshwater fishes and mussels at risk, aquatic invasive species, lower trophic dynamics, large lakes research, ecosystem-based modeling, and fisheries productivity. She has been the Managing Editor of Environmental Biology of Fishes since 2003.

    Bjarni K. Kristjánsson

    Dr. Bjarni Kristjánsson finished both MSc (2001) and PhD (2008) from the University of Guelph, supervised by Drs. David L. G. Noakes and Skúli Skúlason. His research focus is on understanding factors, both ecological and evolutionary, that shape biological diversity at various levels within fresh water, from within species to communities, using both work in the field and controlled laboratory experiments. He has published his work both in English and Icelandic, and supervised a number of graduate students. Bjarni is a Professor at Hólar University in Iceland.

    Trevor E. Pitcher

    Dr. Trevor Pitcher is a Professor at the University of Windsor in the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER) and Department of Integrative Biology as well as the Director of the Freshwater Restoration Ecology Centre. His research focuses on infusing ecological and evolutionary concepts into captive breeding of fish (based on studies of wild spawning populations) to improve the fitness of hatchery reared fish destined for recreational stocking and captive bred imperilled freshwater fishes for reintroduction efforts.

    Mark S. Ridgway

    Dr. Mark Ridgway is the Director of the Harkness Laboratory of Fisheries Research in the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. For the past 32 years, Mark and the Harkness team have conducted research on Salvelinus spp. ecology at multiple levels including fisheries and population monitoring, behaviour, food webs, movement in acoustic arrays, and life history. Coregonus spp. and long-term recruitment dynamics of smallmouth bass have also been a focus of research. Research work is built through partnerships with universities and First Nations.
