Mark Forbes

I am a biology professor and researcher interested in questions about the influence of parasites, diseases and contaminants on the health and reproduction of their animal hosts. I work at Carleton University (Ontario, Canada) where Environment and Climate Change Canada's National Wildlife Research Centre (NWRC) is co-located. My students and I often work collaboratively with research scientists from NWRC using state-of-the-art approaches and assays to determine potential threats to wildlife, particularly in the context of changing environments.
