John Reynolds

Dr. Reynolds’ research program focuses on connections between species and their ecosystems, with an emphasis on conservation. Dr. Reynolds and his research group, the Terrestrial and Aquatic Conservation Lab, are currently focusing on conservation and ecology of Pacific salmon with an emphasis on their ecosystems, including connections between marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats.

Dr. Reynolds and his team use field studies and experiments to understand how various human impacts on salmon and their habitats translate into population declines and recovery. Much of his research is in Heiltsuk territory on the Central Coast, including ongoing studies of 50 watersheds since 2007. The aim of his research is to inform more holistic management of salmon and aquatic habitats.
