Rennie Lab

Welcome to the homepage of the Rennie Lab at Lakehead University. Our lab is the Community Ecology and Energetics Lab, where we focus on the rates and pathways of energy in aquatic ecosystems and organisms.
The Team
;

The Team

Our lab is led by Dr. Michael D. Rennie, Assistant Professor at Lakehead University and currently has 12 members. We have a diverse group of researchers in the lab and strive to maintain a research group that reflects the diversity that we see in society.
What we do

What we do

Our research is broadly focused on investigating how the structure of ecosystems affect rates and pathways of energy flow, and how processes at the individual level (behaviour, metabolism) scale to the population and ecosystem level.
Where we do it
;

Where we do it

Aquatic ecosystems, spanning throughout Canada. A large part of our research is conducted at the IISD-Experimental Lakes Area. Other research sites include Lake Superior and the Great Lakes generally, Lake Winnipeg and it's watershed, and Lake Simcoe.

  • Scholarships

    Congratulations to all our students winning major scholarships this year. Sarah Warrack was awarded an NSERC CGS-M,  Victoria Langen was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship (OGS), and Graydon McKee, Marissa Wegher and Kyle Stratton all received North Shore Superior Awards. Well done gang!

  • Good times at #IAGLR2017!

    The CEE lab was well represented at IAGLR 2017 in Detroit in May. Victoria presented her preliminary findings on isotopic changes in the offshore fish in Lake Simcoe, and Marissa presented her preliminary work showing spatial differences in rainbow smelt energy efficiency and growth rates across Lake Superior. She also won the ‘best visual’ award […]
