SUMMARY:Dr Chris Buddle
DESCRIPTION:Stories from the tundra: On the natural history and diversity of Arctic arthropods



Chris Buddle, PhD
Associate Dean
Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
McGill University



Abstract:  Biodiversity in the Arctic is largely dominated by insects, spiders and their relatives, but the bulk of their life history is largely unknown. This talk will explore the natural history of Arctic arthropods, from pseudoscorpions of the Yukon to tales to egg-sac hunting wasps and beetles parasites on Banks Island. The value of these natural history stories will be linked to broader ecological concepts and help pave the way to a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the smaller critters from Canada’s north.
