The Cooke lab is thrilled to announce the recent successful dissertation defence by Dr. Lee Gutowsky and Dr. Graham Raby. Dr. Gutowsky (co-advised by Cooke and Dr. Mike Power from U Waterloo) studied the behavioural ecology of adfluvial bull trout in British Columbia and Dr. Raby (co-advised by Cooke and Dr. Scott Hinch from UBC) studied the consequences of fisheries interactions on endangered Pacific salmon.
Dr. Gutowsky will be doing a post doc with our lab with a focus on quantitative analysis of telemetry data. Dr. Raby will be doing a 6 month post doc in Australia before moving to the University of Windsor to work with Dr. Aaron Fisk for 2 yrs.
We are grateful to Dr. J. Ellen Marsden and Dr. Carl Schreck for serving as external referees and joining us on campus to share their wealth of expertise.
