2022/2023 Administrators

Dominique Maucieri

I am a PhD student in Biology at the University of Victoria, working in the Bates Lab. I am examining how multiple stressors interact (e.g., marine heatwaves, deoxygenation and human actions) and affect various aspects of coral and rocky reef communities. My aim will be to examine these factors using a hierarchical framework (i.e., spatial, temporal and experimental).

I am a MSc student in the Bates Lab in the Biology department at UVic. I am quantifying hotspots of invertebrate diversity on seamounts in the Pacific Northwest and the Azores in Portugal. Using taxonomic and functional diversity patterns together with climate change models, I will investigate how benthic invertebrate communities will be impacted by climate change threats such as loss of dissolved oxygen and rise in ocean acidification.

​Ecostats?

UVic Ecostats is a graduate student-run group that aims to facilitate the learning of statistics as they apply to ecological systems. We meet on a weekly basis during the Fall and Spring semesters and everyone is welcome to attend. We believe that statistics should not be scary and that we can tackle our ecological stats problems with a group of like-minded peers. ​
​

This year we are focusing on building the basics and advancing our skills. We will be starting from the ground up to build our statistical knowledge and skills by working collectively through tutorials that were made by the Coding Club. If you have previous stats experience and think this sounds unbeneficial, don't worry, Dom has been coding in R for over 8 years and learns something new in every tutorial. Plus the discussions we have together will help to expand and reinforce concepts as well. We hope that these meetings will help everyone to gain confidence and the skills needed to conduct our research.
