Ecologists find strong evidence of 'fishing down the food web' in freshwater lake, Study shows effect is not exclusive to marine ecosystems

September 18, 2019

'Decisions about decisions': Toronto Experimental Economics Lab studies how and why we make choices

Feeling distressed?

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
