Stefano S.K. Kaburu
Dr Kaburu is currently a Senior Lecturer in Conservation Biology at Nottingham Trent University, in the UK. Dr Kaburu completed his PhD in Anthropology in 2014 at the School of Anthropology and Conservation of the University of Kent in the UK, during which he studied grooming behaviour and cooperation in wild chimpanzees.
In 2014-2015, he was a post-doc in Dr Stephen Suomi’s Laboratory of Comparative Ethology, at the National Institutes of Health in the US where he examined the development of social cognition in infant rhesus macaques. Between 2016 and 2018 he was a post-doctoral fellow in Dr Brenda McCowan’s Laboratory at the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of California in Davis, during which he studied the drivers and outcome of human-macaque interactions in Northern India.
His main areas of research interests are animal (especially primates) social behaviour and conservation, human-wildlife interactions and infant development
Hironori Kaminaka
Associate Professor of Faculty of Agriculture, Tottori University, Japan; Past Postdoctoral Fellow of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA; Past postdoctoral Fellow of National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, Japan; Ph. D. obtained in Kyoto Prefectural University, Japan.
Clint D Kelly
Canada Research Chair in Behavioural Ecology. Our lab uses an empirical approach to examine a broad set of topics in behavioral and evolutionary ecology, with particular emphasis on the evolution and maintenance of mating systems and strategies, the trade-offs between reproduction and immunity, the evolution of sexual dimorphism and sperm competition.
We test hypotheses in the lab and field using North American gryllid field crickets and the weta of New Zealand as model organisms. In addition to our empirical work, we have a strong interest in reviewing and synthesizing the primary literature using meta-analysis, commenting on statistical issues and analyzing scientific practices.
Clement Kent
Dr. Clement Kent is a an Adjunct Professor at York University, Toronto, Canada. He has prior background math and computing; but since 2005 his research interests have focused on behavioral genetics and genomics, for both fruit flies and social insects, primarily honeybees, as well as conservation of pollinators.
Haseeb A. Khan
Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry at College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Group Leader of Analytical and Molecular Bioscience Research Group and a Chair Professor at Research Chair for Biomedical Applications of Nanomaterials, King Saud University. PhD from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India and received scientific trainings in USA, UK, Denmark and Finland. Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), UK. Authored more than 300 publications including 2 books and 20 book chapters. Recipient of Microsoft eScience Award. Listed in Top-2% World Ranking of Scientists. Research interests are clinical biochemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, nanobiotechnology, molecular conservation, bioinformatics, pharmacology, and toxicology.
Lian Pin Koh
Lian Pin is Assistant Professor of Applied Ecology and Conservation at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). He is a tropical ecologist by training. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University (2008), where he studied the environmental and policy implications of oil-palm development in Southeast Asia. Since then, his research has focused on key scientific and policy issues concerning tropical deforestation and its impacts on carbon emissions, biodiversity and people.
Donald L Kramer
Dr. Kramer is Professor Emeritus of Biology, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, now living in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He obtained his Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of British Columbia in 1971. Following postdoctoral research at the University of Ghana and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, he was hired by McGill University where he remained until his retirement. He was a founding co-editor of Behavioral Ecology. Research Interests: Habitat selection and spatial distribution, antipredator behavior, foraging, breathing strategies in hypoxic environments, with forays into a variety of other topics. Principal study organisms: fishes (especially in coral reef and tropical freshwater habitats) and sciurid rodents (deciduous temperate forests).
Max R Lambert
I'm an ecologist and environmental scientist who studies a diversity of conservation and restoration issues for biodiversity and ecosystems.
Chris P.S. Larsen
My research is at the intersection of climate change, landscape ecology and ecological dynamics. I employ historical ecological and paleoclimatic data to assess ecosystem dynamics and to provide context for ecological restoration. Past research focussed on the use of tree-rings, and fossil pollen and charcoal, to reconstruct the impacts of climate change on fire frequency and forest composition. My current research tests climatic, Colonial, and Indigenous factors as the cause of decreased white oak across the eastern US and the increase in mesophytic species. Additional research with graduate students has explored carbon sequestration by vegetation at the local scale of brownfields in Buffalo, to the regional scale of the forests of the eastern USA, and landscape-scale conservation and restoration of amphibians including the eastern hellbender.
Benjamin H Letcher
Ben Letcher is a quantitative stream ecologist working at the interface of field studies and mathematical models of population and evolutionary dynamics. My group is combining information from long-term intensive studies of stream fish with extensive studies to develop broad scale models of population response to environmental change.
Dongming Li
Dongming Li is a Professor at the College of Life Sciences, Hebei Normal University. His research focuses on the mechanisms of how animals adjust their morphology, physiology, and behavior to respond to the changing (or extreme) environments in free-living animals, especially birds.
