The Editors

Prof. E.J. Milner-Gulland - Acting Executive Editor

E.J. Milner-Gulland is Professor in Conservation Science in the Division of Biology, Silwood Park, Imperial College London. Her research concerns the dynamics of bio-economic systems. This involves population dynamics and human decision-making and the interactions between them, and straddles the fields of theoretical applied ecology, resource economics and conservation science. She is particularly interested in how individuals (humans or animals) make decisions under conditions of uncertainty.

 

 

Prof. Rob Freckleton - Senior Editor

Rob is a Professor in the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences at Sheffield University. His research is concerned with developing models for population dynamics and testing these using observational and comparative data. His recent work has been concerned with predicting weed population dynamics, including the long-term impacts of GM crops, predicting the long-term impacts of exploitation on natural resources, and predicting large scale distributions using simple population models.


 

Prof. Phil Hulme - Senior Editor
Phil is a Professor of Plant Biosecurity at the National Centre for Advanced Bio-Protection Technologies at Lincoln University, New Zealand. He is a plant ecologist with particular interests in plant-animal interactions and the consequences of plant invasion. Current research on non-indigenous plants addresses: a) strategies to predict the pattern and process of invasion by plants; b) assessment of options to control or eradicate problem species; c) estimation of ecological impacts on native biodiversity; and d) development of risk assessment protocols.
 

 

Dr Simon Thirgood - Senior Editor

Simon is Science Leader for Ecology at the Macaulay Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland. His scientific interests are at the interface of population ecology, behavioural ecology and conservation biology and he has worked primarily with terrestrial vertebrates in Scotland and East Africa. Current research activities include: (1) trophic interactions and population regulation in red deer and mountain hares in the Scottish highlands; (2) trophic interactions and ecosystem dynamics in the Bale Mountains, Ethiopia; (3) ungulate migration and ecosystem dynamics in the Serengeti, Tanzania.

 

Dr Gillian Kerby - Managing Editor
As Managing Editor of the journal, Gill co-ordinates all aspects of journal work. Her research interests focus on the behavioural ecology of mammals, having completed postdoctoral work in the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University. Earlier research involved applied entomology and plant protection. Gill has a farming background and has worked as a conservation adviser to the UK agricultural industry. More recently, she was a Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University with responsibility for continuing education in biological and molecular sciences. Gill has varied writing and editing experience and has worked for the Journal since 1996.
