Researcher Farah Chan has found that the shorter the voyage, the more invaders survive a cross-oceanic trip.

A UWindsor professor will deliver a lecture Wednesday on the use of data from fish ear bones to determine their history of environmental exposure.
Hugh MacIsaac has been named Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Invasive Species.
A graduate student trying to determine how climate change is affecting Arctic animals like ringed seals who rely on very specific food resources, has become the first University of Windsor student ever to receive a scholarship of its kind in order to continue his research in the north.
A UWindsor researcher will discuss her investigation into using tree leaves to track heavy metal pollution in a free public presentation Wednesday.
A rare type of hybrid manta ray has been discovered in the Red Sea thanks to the work of a trio of University of Windsor scientists and their research partners in Sudan.
The ray, a cross between a Reef Manta Ray (Manta alfredi) and a Giant Manta Ray (Manta birostris), is only the second documented case of hybridization in elasmobranchs, the subclass of fish that includes sharks and rays, according to the group.
The waters off the coast of Sudan are considered a biodiversity hotspot for such critically important marine species as sharks and manta rays, and a pair of UWindsor scientists has laid the groundwork to begin protecting them.

A trip to Canada’s far north with an expedition to catch and tag fish, and set out acoustic receivers to track their movements, has been one of the most amazing experiences of his life, says Stephen Fields.
A communications officer in the University of Windsor’s department of Public Affairs and Communications, Fields joined researcher Nigel Hussey aboard the MV Nuliajuk, a 64-foot vessel plying the waters off the coast of Baffin Island.
Dillon Hall is a beautiful building, says Megan Corchis: “I think it has great character.”
A fourth-year student in the visual arts and the built environment (VABE) program, Corchis is heading a group of volunteer guides who will lead tours through the building during Doors Open Windsor, which invites the public to view buildings of architectural and historical significance, September 29 and 30.
“Doors Open is about letting people know what’s out there,” says Corchis. “It’s a fun environment to learn about history that relates to Windsor.”
Researcher Martin Hulak died last week at the age of 33, but his pioneering work will live on, say professors who held him in high regard.
Dr. Hulak, a post-doctoral fellow working with Hugh MacIsaac and Melania Cristescu at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, was found dead outside his Windsor home on Wednesday, August 29. A native of Slovakia, he started working on campus in March 2012.
