Academic Editors
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.
Alastair J Potts
I am interested in many aspects of South African œcology, including palaeovegetation distributions, plant phylogeography, drivers of biome boundaries and Albany Subtropical Thicket œcology (e.g. physiology, seed dispersal and restoration). I also spend time exploring the interface between phylogenetic trees and networks, as evolution is often poorly described using a bifurcating tree.

He has published more than 150 research papers and reviews. He is also an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Pharmacology and Frontiers in Oncology and an Editorial Board Member of more than 10 scientific journals such as Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery, Journal of Cancer Research Updates, World Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Yung-Sheng Chen
I am a full-time academic professor with a specificity in neuromuscular and cardiovascular physiology in the Department of Exercise and Health Sciences at University of Taipei. I completed a M.Sc. degree in Sports Sciences from Brunel University, the UK, in 2007 and a Ph.D. degree in the School of Health and Human Sciences, Southern Cross University, Australia in 2011. My current research interests focus on the effects of training load monitoring, exercise recovery intervention on autonomic nervous function, effects of biofeedback training on cardiovascular adaptation, and effects of ageing on neuromuscular function, physical activity and health, and football/futsal sciences
David WE Hone
I'm a Reader in Zoology at Queen Mary University of London. I've previously worked at University College Dublin and the University of Bristol and had postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing and the Bayerische Staatsammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie in Munich. My work focuses on the (non-avian) dinosaurs as a whole and especially the carnivorous theropods, and also on the flying pterosaurs.
