Overview

Marie-Josée Fortin is affiliated with the University of Toronto in Canada and has contributed extensively to environmental science, with a focus on ecology and related subfields. Their research spans areas such as ecology, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, ecological modeling, and the broader category of ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scientist's work addresses multiple main topics, including species distribution and climate change, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, wildlife ecology and conservation, land use and ecosystem services, plant and animal studies, wildlife-road interactions and conservation, and coral and marine ecosystems studies.

Recent notable publications by Marie-Josée Fortin include:

  • "Fire and biodiversity in the Anthropocene" (2020) published in Science
  • "Conceptualizing ecosystem services using social-ecological networks" (2021) published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution
  • "Network ecology in dynamic landscapes" (2021) published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • "Moderate disturbances accelerate forest transition dynamics under climate change in the temperate-boreal ecotone of eastern North America" (2020) published in Global Change Biology
  • "Future impact of climate extremes in the Mediterranean: Soil erosion projections when fire and extreme rainfall meet" (2020) published in Land Degradation and Development

Frequent co-authors contributing to collaborative research with Marie-Josée Fortin include Andrew Gonzalez, Chris Brimacombe, Korryn Bodner, Tiziana A. Gelmi-Candusso, and Mark R. T. Dale.

The scientist has also published in prominent venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Ecological Applications, Ecography, and Ecosphere.
