Advisory Board and Editors Zoology
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".
Michela M Johnson
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the State Natural History Museum in Stuttgart. I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2019. My work focuses on teleosauroids, a group of semi-marine Jurassic crocodylomorphs, and aspects of their morphology, phylogenetics, taxonomy and ecology. For my postdoc I am studying their ontogeny and body size distribution during the Early Jurassic.
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.

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
Uğur Karadurmuş
Uğur Karadurmuş is an associate professor at the Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University. He is an expert in environmental sciences, with interests in marine science, underwater technology and fisheries management. He has a PhD in fisheries management from the Karadeniz Technical University (Turkey) and serve on the Maritime Vocational School of the Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University (Turkey).
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.
Fabien Knoll
Fabien Knoll is a Senior Research Fellow at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain. His research interests focus on the palaeobiology and evolution of archosaurs.
Daisuke Koyabu
Dai Koyabu is an Associate Professor of Anatomy at the City University of Hong Kong. He was educated at Kyoto University, University of California at Berkeley, and University of Tokyo, and had postdoctoral training at University of Zurich. His research focuses on the anatomy, evolution and development of the mammalian cranium. Editorial Board of Mammalian Biology, Mammal Study, and Morphomuseum. Recommender for PCI Paleontology. Executive Committee Member of the International Society of Vertebrate Morphology (ISVM).
Nicola F Koyama
Nicola Koyama is a Reader in Primate Behaviour at Liverpool John Moores University and Co-Director of the Research Centre for Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology (2020-24). She is a behavioural ecologist with a research focus on understanding how group-living animals manage their social relationships in response to environmental, social and anthropogenic change. She is the departmental lead for Diversity and Inclusion and is active in translating institutional policies for diversity and inclusion into actionable strategies for cultural change.
Brian Kraatz
Brian received a B.A. in Geology from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1996. He completed an M.S. in Geology & Geophysics from the University of Wyoming in 2001, and a Ph.D in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley in 2007. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, where he remains affiliated as a Research Associate. Since 2009 he has been an Assistant then Associate Professor of Anatomy at Western University of Health Sciences.
