These key interests developed during my undergraduate degree\u00a0at the University of Guelph where I completed a test of the influence of prey and\u00a0predator density on functional response in a zooplankton microcosm at two time\u00a0intervals. For my Masters degree at the University of Alberta I am investigating\u00a0individual variation in habitat selection and movement at multiple scales.\u00a0Specifically, I am exploring elk winter range behaviour, focusing on the influence of\u00a0human disturbance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2015\/11\/Prokopenko.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-357 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2015\/11\/Prokopenko.jpg\" alt=\"Prokopenko\" width=\"330\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2015\/11\/Prokopenko.jpg 400w, https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2015\/11\/Prokopenko-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact information<\/strong><br \/>\nChristina Prokopenko<br \/>\nBiological Sciences, University of Alberta<br \/>\nEdmonton, AB, T6G 2E9, Canada<br \/>\nE-mail: <a href=\"mailto:prokopen@ualberta.ca\">prokopen@ualberta.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My research interests lie in determining the factors that influence fundamental\u00a0topics in ecology, including animal behaviour, habitat selection, movement, and\u00a0predator-prey dynamics.
