Glenn Crossin, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
I study the physiological mechanisms that underlie variation in life-history traits, mostly (but not exclusively!) in birds and fish. I received my BSc from the University of New Hampshire, my MSc and PhD from the University of British Columbia, and pursued postdoctoral studies at Simon Fraser University, the British Antarctic Survey, and Fisheries & Oceans Canada.
Editorial board member, Biology Letters
Associate Editor, Marine Ornithology

Daniela Notte, MSc. candidate
Daniela is studying predation on Atlantic salmon smolts migrating out of the Stewiacke River, Nova Scotia. Using a combination of acoustic telemetry and genetic work, she is investigating if the physiological condition of a smolt can predict whether or not it will survive its migration to the sea. This research will help guide future river restoration and Atlantic salmon management programs.
Claire Rycroft, MSc. candidate
Claire is working closely with DFO researchers to determine the interactions between migrating salmon smolts and aquaculture infrastructure in Passamaquoddy Bay, a region of eastern Canada with an abundance of salmon farms. Using acoustic telemetry, fundamental aspects of migrating smolt residency times around farms will be quantified, and patterns will be viewed relative to differential gene expression patterns among individuals.
Cayle Cross, Honours student
Cayle is investigating latitudinal trends of incubation behaviour in rhinoceros auklets from many different colonies in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Using light-level geolocator tags, he will infer individual and colony specific variation in colony arrival dates, pre-laying burrow occupancy patterns, and lay dates. This work will fill basic knowledge gaps concerning the pre-breeding behaviour of rhinoceros auklets. Cayle is working closely with Dr. Mark Hipfner at Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Katie Studholme at Birds Canada.
