The following people constitute the Editorial Board of Academic Editors for PeerJ. These active academics are the Editors who seek peer reviewers, evaluate their responses, and make editorial decisions on each submission to the journal. Learn more about becoming an Editor.
Jianguo Wu
Dean's Distinguished Professor of landscape ecology and sustainability science. Current research areas include landscape ecology, urban ecology, and sustainability science. Editor-in-Chief of Landscape Ecology; Elected AAAS Fellow (2007); Distinguished Landscape Ecologist Award from United States Association for Landscape Ecology (2010); Outstanding Scientific Achievements Award from International Association for Landscape Ecology (2011); Elected Fellow of Ecological Society of America (2019).
Jianye Ge
Dr. Jianye Ge is the Associate Director of the Center for Human Identification and an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Genetics at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. His research relates primarily to forensic genetics, bioinformatics, and data mining. The software programs he developed have been used by the Federal and State government agencies to assist in solving criminal cases.
Jacqueline Batley
Professor in the School of Biological Sciences, University of Western Australia. I hold an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship. Research interests include plant-pathogen interactions, crop genetics and genomics, genome sequencing, Brassicas, structural variation, diversity genomics, methylation
Michael S. Singer
Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University. Research focus on the role of tri-trophic interactions in evolutionary, community, and food web ecology. Additional specific expertise in plant-insect interactions and Lepidoptera.
Darren Norris
Lecturer at the Federal University of Amapá, Brazil. My research interests are broad and are currently focused on the conservation of biodiversity and traditional livelihoods around waterways that traverse political (national and international), cultural and ecological boundaries. I am particularly interested in inter-disciplinary approaches, comprising population and community ecology, population biology, landscape and spatial statistics.
Guillermo Castilla
I am a remote sensing research scientist at the Canadian Forest Service. I integrate geospatial technologies to map and monitor land cover, forest structure and composition, and natural (e.g., fire, insect outbreaks) and anthropogenic (forestry, oil and gas) disturbances in support of forest ecosystems and climate change science and policy.
William J Brazelton
Associate Professor, School of Biological Sciences, University of Utah.
Richard D Emes
Professor of Bioinformatics at Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science and Director of the University of Nottingham Advanced Data Analysis Centre.
Research interests are in bioinformatics, comparative genomics and molecular evolution particularly in the fields of pathogen biology, epigenetics and neurobiology.
Tamar Guy-Haim
My main research interests are marine biodiversity and biogeography, with particular emphasis on species interactions, bioinvasions, and climate change. I use multidisciplinary approaches and combine experimental ecology, physiology, biogeochemistry, phylogeny, and modeling.
Vanessa R Yingling
Dr. Yingling is a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University, East Bay. Her undergraduate degree was in Bioengineering from the University of California-San Diego. She obtained her master’s degree in Exercise Science from the University at Buffalo and her Ph.D. in Kinesiology (Biomechanics) from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She trained as a post-doctoral fellow for 2 years in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Dr. Yingling’s research interest is “How to grow a strong skeleton - The effect of exercise and loading on bone structure and strength. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health.
J. Thomas Sanderson
Professor of Toxicology at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier, Université du Québec, Laval, Canada. Adjunct professor at the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Montréal, Canada. Member and former councillor (2008-2011) of the Society of Toxicology of Canada. Member of the Society of Toxicology since 2000. Recipient of a 2006 Leader's Opportunities Fund Infrastructure Award from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation. Current research funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada.
Kirankumar S. Mysore
