Javier Manjarrez
He received a B.S. in Biology, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Ecology from the
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM). He is currently a Professor of Biological Sciences at the Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico. Most of his research interests have centered on the behavioral ecology of snakes and evolutionary processes that shape ecological diversity in sympatric species. Although he prefers working with snakes, his research has involved a variety of animals ranging from hylid frogs to domestic birds and mammals. Javier teaches courses in ecology, animal ecology, and statistics.
Julien GA Martin
I am generally interested in understanding the causes of variation in life history traits in wild populations, with particular on the causes and consequences of within-individual variation in life history. The focus of my research is the evolutionary ecology of reproductive strategies and understanding the impact of environmental variation on adaptation and evolution of traits.

Maria Miragaia
Auxiliary Researcher at Laboratory of Bacterial Evolution and Molecular Epidemiology, Instituto de Tecnologia Quimica e Biologica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. Recipient of the 2010 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Grant and of the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) Infectious Diseases fellows Award.
Boyd A Mori
Assistant Professor of Agricultural and Ecological Entomology in the Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta.
Research in our lab focuses on varying aspects of insects in agricultural systems. Our focal areas of research include chemical ecology, population genetics, and insect-plant interactions. We use a variety of techniques from field and laboratory bioassays to transcriptomics and genomics to examine basic and applied ecological questions.
Martial Ndeffo
Dr. Martial Ndeffo is Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Texas A&M School of Public Health. His research uses transdisciplinary modeling approaches to address public health challenges for a wide range of infectious diseases.
Darren Norris
Lecturer at the Federal University of Amapá, Brazil. My research interests are broad and are currently focused on the conservation of biodiversity and traditional livelihoods around waterways that traverse political (national and international), cultural and ecological boundaries. I am particularly interested in inter-disciplinary approaches, comprising population and community ecology, population biology, landscape and spatial statistics.
Diogo B Provete
I am an Assistant Professor of Ecology and Statistical Ecology at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. My primary research interests include metacommunity ecology, biogeography, macroecology, and macroevolution. I often use phylogenetic comparative methods, geometric morphometrics, and multidimensional analysis in my research. I'm an elected member of the Science Committee of the Ecological Society of America, Chair of the ESA Latin America Chapter and serve as an Associate Editor for Amphibia-Reptilia, Journal of Herpetology, and Ecosphere. So far, I have published 30 papers on ecology and herpetology in international journals, 4 book chapters, in addition to a book on Biogeographical patterns of South American Anurans by Springer. My research has been featured in F1000 Prime and several Brazilian newspapers. I have advised four master's students. I have been invited to present my research in Swansea (UK), Argentina, Recife, and São Paulo. I served as Editor-in-Chief for Check List, and also was a member of the editorial board of five other zoology journals.
Benoit Pujol
Senior scientist, interested by open science (SORTEE member), registered reports (PCI RR founder) and the ability of plants (snapdragons, white campions, arabidopsis) and animals (clownfish, coral, roe deer, aphids) to adapt! Using quantitative genetics and developping it in wild populations to identify mechanisms that meddle with the response to selection on an ecological time scale.
Naureen Rana
I am Assistant Professor at the University of Agriculture, Pakistan. My research currently focuses on the diversity of arthropods, particularly insects in different agroecological zones. I am also interested for the monitoring of wildlife and their conservational aspects. I am interested in the conservation of insects and the ecological balance that insects impose on the ecosystem. I also have a lot of experience in agricultural entomology as well as studying different landscapes. In addition to this I have documented the insects of different agricultural cropland of Punjab Pakistan.
Sushma Reddy
Dr. Sushma Reddy is the Breckenridge Chair of Ornithology at the Bell Museum of Natural History and Associate Professor in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota. Her research investigates biological diversity by using genetic, phenotypic, and geographic data to study the evolutionary history of birds. From adaptive radiations in Madagascar to diversification patterns in the Old World tropics and the early evolution of modern birds, her work spans the breadth of avian phylogenetics. As a natural history museum curator, she oversees the Bell Museum’s collection of bird specimens and is part of a global network of biodiversity repositories, a key resource for understanding environmental change. She collaborates with scientists across the world and trains students at all levels. Her research continues to build our knowledge of bird diversity and aid conservation efforts.
Yilun Shang
I am an Associate Professor in Computer and Information Sciences at Northumbria. I received my PhD degree in Mathematics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research interest is in complex networks and systems.
Andrew A Shantz
I am a marine ecologist, utilizing principles from community and physiological ecology to understand the impacts of global change on marine ecosystems.
