Sercan Yapıcı
Sercan Yapıcı completed his PhD in 2017 with a thesis entitled "Determination of bio-ecological aspects and food interactions of Randall's threadfin bream (Nemipterus randalli) and common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) in the Gokova Bay”.
He is a researcher at Mugla Sıtkı Koçman University, Faculty of Fisheries since 2010. His main interest topics are non-native species in the Mediterranean Sea; risk analysis on marine bioinvasion.
Nigel G. Yoccoz
Professor of Statistical Ecology at the Institute of Arctic and Marine Biology of UiT The Arctic University of Norway since 2003. Associate Editor of "Methods in Ecology and Evolution", "Ecography" and "Wildlife Biology", and former associate editors of Ecology and Ecology Letters.
Anastasija Zaiko
Dr. Anastasija Zaiko's major areas of expertise are in aquatic ecology and the development and implementation of molecular tools for monitoring and surveillance. She has held leading roles in many national and international research programmes, projects and field expeditions, conducting experimental and observational studies in aquatic ecosystems employing a range of different surveillance techniques (traditional and molecular). Dr. Zaiko is a co-founder and a lead scientist at Sequench Ltd, a professional laboratory specializing in molecular analyses, biosecurity and environmental consulting.
Lin Zhang
Dr. Lin Zhang is Associate professor within the School of Basic Medical Sciences, Hubei University of Chinese Medicine, Wuhan, China.
His research interests focus on:
1）How ectotherms (with tropical lizard as subject) linking bioenergetics and overwintering strategy during global warming
2）Macro-evolution including activity, metabolism and reproduction in squamate
Matteo Zucchetta
Matteo Zucchetta obtained his PhD thesis entitled "Habitat distribution models for the management of fishery and conservation concern species in lagoon environment” at the University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Italy). He has previously covered the position of researcher University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics) and at the National Centre for Coastal Zone Protection and Characterization, Marine Climatology and for Operational Oceanography of the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA). Since 2020 he is a researcher of the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy. His work was carried out in the framework of different EU and Italian projects, and his main research topics are: 1) analysis of the spatial distribution of plant and animal species in coastal and transitional water bodies; 2) Community ecology in transitional water ecosystems; 3) Use of fish fauna assemblages as indicators of ecosystem ecological status; 4) Ecological models for food webs analysis; 5) Climate changes effects on aquatic ecosystems.
