Jaime will explore the crucial roles spiders play in terrestrial ecosystems and their significance for biodiversity. Additionally\, he will share examples of current research from his lab\, demonstrating how spiders can be used in ecological studies\, particularly in an Albertan context. Whether you fear spiders or find them intriguing\, his hope is that by the end of this talk\, you’ll see them in a more positive light. \nDr. Jaime Pinzon is a Research Scientist with the Department of Natural Resources Canada (Canadian Forest Service)\, based in Edmonton at the Northern Forestry Centre.
