My name is Rachael Derbyshire and I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Webber Lab at the University of Guelph. For the past ~15 years, I have studied or worked within the field of wildlife biology and ecology. In addition to completing a BSc in Wildlife Biology (University of Guelph), MSc in Ecology (University of Guelph), Post-Graduate Diploma in Endangered Species Recovery (Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology; University of Kent), and PhD in Environmental and Life Sciences (Trent University), I have held several employment positions in my field, including as a Research Manager at the University of Guelph leading several projects related to the conservation of monarch butterflies. Currently, I am investigating the behavioural ecology of woodland caribou populations in northern Ontario as part of the Caribou Conservation Stewardship Program, in partnership with the Ontario government. In my free time, I enjoy knitting, gardening, walking my dog, and spending time in the many beautiful natural areas that can be found across Ontario.
