Jane Waterman

Jane Waterman is a professor in Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba, where she specializes in behavioural ecology. She has taught courses such as Biology of Mammals, Animal Behaviour, Ecology, Ornithology, and Conservation Biology, and offers field courses in the biology of African mammals in South Africa. Her research focuses on the factors that influence the evolution of sociality and mating systems and the majority of her research focuses on sociality in ground-dwelling squirrels. For the past 30 years, Jane has also studied sociality in the Polar Bear. She has degrees from the University of Guelph, the University of Alberta, and the University of Minnesota, and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Saskatchewan and York University. Jane is also an avid birder and a trip to Zambia in November is very exciting to her, as birds will be in breeding colouration. The chance to see an array of bird and mammal species is something that Jane is particularly excited about, as the biodiversity of Zambia spans wildlife found in both southern and eastern Africa.
