Flooded jellyskin (Leptogium rivulare) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 15

Biographical summary of the report writer

Robert Lee is a general naturalist with progressively more specialized interests in trees, forest ecology, and lichens as indicators of old-growth. Among lichens, he prefers the generally more inconspicuous crustose species, especially the calicioid oldgrowth indicators, but he has also taken an interest in the genus Leptogium. He received a B.Sc. in Wildlife Biology from the University of Guelph in 1978. He carries out long-term field studies on trees, frogs, and mammals, in which the organisms are identified as individuals and followed.

For 18 years, Mr. Lee has been much involved in the outdoor education of children and young adults through the Macoun Field Club, of which he is Chairman. He received the Anne Hanes Natural History Award in 2000 from the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club for his work on Leopard Frogs, and other field studies.

His most recent publication is a 55-page chapter detailing the findings of a fouryear field investigation carried out by the National Museum of Canada in the 1950s, in "The Sheguiandah Site: Archaeological, Geological and Paleobotanical Studies at a Paleoindian Site on Manitoulin Island, Ontario," P. Julig (ed.), Archaeological Survey of Canada, Mercury Series, Paper 161. 2002.
