Description
Summary:Since 1993, Dave has served as the Chair of the Parasitology Module for the Biological Survey of Canada, and he has been essential in strategic planning of parasite biodiversity studies and the application of these data to broad environmental issues at the ecosystem level. Among the more significant contributions has been the development of the long-term Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network to evaluate threatened resources and the response of ecosystems to major perturbations. Dr. Eric Hoberg, one of his close colleagues, says that Dave has been a true ambassador for parasitology in the broader ecological community, placing parasitological research at the forefront of studies linking survey, inventory and monitoring of parasite populations to address complex problems in environmental biology.
