Advisory Board and Editors Marine Biology
Izwandy Idris
Dr. Izwandy Idris is Head of the South China Sea Repository and Reference Centre (RRC) within the Institute of Oceanography and Environment at the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.
His research interests include the systematics (taxonomy), biology, and ecology of marine invertebrates, with in-depth works on the marine worm (Annelida: Polychaeta). Dr. Idris' research group works on several aspects including small-scale biogeography in coastal and estuary, biofouling ecology, biology, and ecology of commercially related species for sustainable application. His group also has started taking an interest in deep-sea polychaetes.
The overarching objectives of Dr. Idris' research group is to systematically catalogue the marine invertebrate diversity in Malaysia and to apply the knowledge on the ecological and biological requirements of the species for the betterment of people through economic empowerment, health, and the environment in a sustainable manner.
Łukasz Jaremko
Dr. Łukasz Jaremko is Associate Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
Research in Dr. Jaremko's Molecular Diagnostics and Drug Discovery (MD3) group focuses on atomic-level insight into essential and topical questions from biochemistry and medicine.
Nicholas W Jeffery
Aquatic science biologist at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Adjunct Faculty, Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph; PhD from the University of Guelph in Integrative Biology.
Malcolm Jobling
Professor of Fish Biology and Aquaculture. Authored and edited books on fish biology, physiology and nutrition, and aquaculture, and serving editorial board member for fisheries and aquaculture journals. Formerly, member of EUCost, ICES and academic society steering committees.
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.
David W Johnston
Dave Johnston is a biological oceanographer and marine conservation ecologist whose research focuses on the habitat needs of marine vertebrates in relation to pressing conservation issues.
Jean-Lou Justine
Professor of parasitology at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France.
A specialist of systematics of monogeneans and certain parasitic nematodes, also interested in parasite biodiversity in coral reef fish, phylogeny of Platyhelminthes and Nematodes, and land planarians. Curator of the collections of parasitic worms of the MNHN.
Former Editor of “Zoosystema” and “Mémoires du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle”. Currently Editor of “Parasite”, an open-access journal.
See my Publons profile for more information on peer-review activity.
Bishoy Kamel
I am currently a scientist at the Joint Genome Institute at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Working on a diversity of topics, including evolution, genomics, metabolic modeling, host-parasite interactions, and biosurveillance.
Konstantinos A Kormas
I completed my Biology BSc (1994) and PhD (1998) on marine ecology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. I worked as a post-doctoral investigator on coastal Cyanobacteria at the Trondhjem Biological Station, Norway (2000) and at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA (2000-2002) on deep-sea microbiology. In March 2005 I was appointed as faculty of aquatic microbial ecology at the Department of Ichthyology & Aquatic Environment, University of Thessaly, Greece. Since March 2015 I am a full Professor at the same department.
Our research group investigates processes that are related the distribution and abundance of microorganisms in different aquatic habitats and also aquatic animal-microbe interactions.
Kerstin Kröger
Dr. Kerstin Kröger is MPA Management Adviser at the Join Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) in Aberdeen, UK. She obtained her M.Sc from CAU University Kiel and PhD from VIC Wellington, NZ in 2004.
Dr. Kröger is a deep-sea ecologist with a special interest in benthic biodiversity and communities, the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances and pressures on such communities and their recovery trajectories. Furthermore, she is interested in management of the marine environment, in particular of offshore MPAs in national waters and the High Seas. In addition to this Dr. Kröger is involved in developing management measures for deep-sea mining.
Anne Kuhn
Anne Kuhn holds a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Rhode Island, and has expertise in the field of spatial statistics and developing approaches for evaluating the relative risks from chemical and non-chemical stressors on spatially structured populations of wildlife species across. Anne develops and evaluates watershed indicators to reflect and predict aquatic condition in lakes, streams and estuaries. Her current research involves evaluating key intrinsic factors controlling watershed physical processes and connectivity, and quantifying watershed-level stressors (e.g., land use, stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon, nutrient loads, climate change, etc.) that influence the condition and integrity of water bodies within watersheds.
