Hello, my name is Caroline! I am originally from Montreal where I obtained a BSc in Biology from McGill.I am interested in the “ecology of fear,” in which organisms exposed to parasites or parasite cues change their behaviors, with consequences for host fitness. Behaviors such as grooming, feeding, and mating are the main focus of my research.
