Simon C Griffith
I work on a number of evolutionary and ecological questions with a number of species of birds in both the field and laboratory. Captive model systems such as the Gouldian finch and zebra finch provide excellent opportunities to understand diversity in questions relating to speciation, sociality, sexual selection, and signalling. We are also interested in how Australia's extreme and highly stochastic climate influences behaviour and life history evolution.
Peng He
Dr. He is Associated Professor of Entomology of Center for Research and Development of Fine Chemicals of Guizhou University. His lab focuses on Insect Molecular Biology and Pest management, especially on insect olfactory mechanism and insect development. He received his PhD in 2012 from Nanjing Agricultural University.
Ann V. Hedrick
University of California, Davis, Ph.D. in Zoology
Brandon P Hedrick
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences, Cornell University
An evolutionary biologist, paleobiologist, and ecologist primarily interested in comparative morphology. I work across the vertebrate tree including reptiles, amphibians, and birds, but specialize on bats and dinosaurs.
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.
Dezene PW Huber
In our lab we work on bark beetle functional genomics, understanding tree defenses against herbivores and pathogens, insect chemical ecology, and insect biodiversity.
We conduct our research across multiple scales and we use available tools – established and cutting-edge – to search for answers to complex entomological and ecological questions.
Lydia Jimenez-Diaz
Principal investigator of several projects at international, national and regional level, and has participated in over 20 research projects as a partner. Currently co-director of two doctoral courses on the brain regions associated with memory storage and Alzheimer's disease. Research is focused on the molecular and cellular basis of synaptic plasticity processes in the Central Nervous System.
Magnus L Johnson
I am a marine scientist with eclectic interests including crustacean biology and fisheries, fisheries management generally, krill swimming behaviour, cleaner fish, coral reef systems, the relationship of marine commensals and their hosts and the eyes of shrimps. I work in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Hull where I am the Director of the MSc in Environmental Change Management and Monitoring. I am a fellow of the Marine Biological Association and a board member of the Science-Art foundation "Invisible Dust".
Sheri L Johnson
A behavioural ecologist with broad interests in sexual selection, mating system evolution, sperm biology, behavioural epigenetics, and the effects of environmental challenges (e.g., hypoxia, toxins, and microplastics) on the reproductive and behavioural ecology of animals. Study systems include marine invertebrates, marine and freshwater fishes (including zebrafish) and terrestrial invertebrates (weta and stag beetles). Overall, Dr Johnson's research programme investigates both genetic and environmental effects on behaviour and reproductive fitness.
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
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.
Mei-Chuan Ko
Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My research interests involve behavioral neuropharmacology of pain and addiction, including 1) biological basis and pharmacotherapy for drug abuse and dependence and 2) neuropharmacological basis of therapeutics of analgesics and antipruritics.
