BIOGRAPHIE

I was born and grew up in Chicago. I have been at McGill University since 1976 with the exception of sabbatics at Cornell, the University of Washington and Kyoto University, plus a stint as a Visiting Research Scientist in a government forestry lab in Hokkaido, northern Japan. My roots at McGill are in the Department of Biology, but I am also involved with the McGill School of Environment and with GREF-interuniversitaire. GREFi is a group of professors from all the local universities who share interest in forest ecology. I am Director of the university's Gault Nature Reserve which is the core of the Mont St. Hilaire Biosphere Reserve. The Gault Nature Reserve is an old growth forest near Montreal that provides an important base for teaching and research.

As Director of the Gault Nature Reserve , I am responsible for a variety of academic and outreach activities that raise public awareness of conservation issues on and around Mont St. Hilaire in the Richelieu River Valley east of Montreal. I manage the university partnership with the Mont St. Hilaire Nature Centre , a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to conservation in the region. We host 170,000+ visitors to the reserve each year. We raise on the order of $250,000 per year from foundations and governments to purchase or protect green space in the region. In August 2001 I received the Distinguished Service Award from the Nature Conservation Centre in recognition of my support for community conservation efforts. I also develop teaching and research use of the reserve, provide infrastructural support for these activities, and communicate their nature and purpose to the general public through lectures, excursions and lay publications. The reserve is an important venue for training and research. Most years there are 10-12 classes from 3 universities using the reserve and 20-30 ongoing research projects involving 15-20 research scientists. About 20 undergraduate assistants and graduate students live and work at the reserve in summers. We average 10-12 peer-reviewed papers per year based on work at the reserve, adding to over 550 previous publications.

THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Evolutionary Ecology of Forest Plants

My research falls in two broad areas tied together by an interest in the functional basis for variation in plant performance across a range of environments, especially in forests of temperate and boreal regions in the northern hemisphere. One area concerns the comparative ecology of trees, especially how phenological, physiological and architectural traits interact to determine tree establishment, growth and susceptibility to herbivores. Some of this work is strictly ecological, but some also considers the ways that contemporary differences among species have evolved. The second area concerns the evolutionary and ecological responses of herbaceous plants to environmental heterogeneity, with a focus especially on sedges and ferns. This involves studies characterizing heterogeneity at scales from cm to thousands of km, quantifying the interacting contributions of traits to fitness, investigating the role of plasticity in stabilizing fitness across environments, and defining tradeoffs among life history components. My work on adaptation to particular environments bears on questions of niche differentiation among species within functional groups of plants and its relevance to the assembly of plant communities.

Simulating Ecological and Evolutionary Systems in C
par Will Wilson, 2000, Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 301 pages, Amazon 

  • Cet ouvrage présente de nombreux modèles classiques de dynamique de population (logistique, Lotka-Volterra, Lotka-Volterra dans l’espace, reaction-diffusion, etc.). L’avantage de ce livre est que pour chaque modèle le code en langage C est inclus et chaque ligne de code est expliquée en détails. Les changements de dynamique des modèles suivant des changements de paramètres sont aussi explorés. (EF)
