Biology Department, University of Victoria
Victoria, BC, Canada

Amanda Bates is a Professor at the University of Victoria, an Impact Chair in Ocean Ecosystem Change and Conservation, and a Pew Marine Fellow. She held previous faculty positions at the University of Southampton in the UK (2013-2017), and Memorial University of Newfoundland (2018-2021) where she was a Canada Research Chair in Marine Ecophysiology. Her research spans several disciplines from physiology and community ecology, taking a global perspective. This perspective is informed from field work in Antarctica, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the UK, ranging from the intertidal zone to the deep sea hydrothermal vents. Amanda enjoys participating in collaborative multi-national, multi-dimensional working groups and projects. She brings this perspective to highlight challenges and ways forwards to better predict and mitigate marine biodiversity change.

Adam Algar

Department of Biology, Lakehead University
Thunder Bay, ON, Canada

Adam Algar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. He previously held a faculty position at the University of Nottingham from 2011-2021. Dr. Algar's research aims to understand how organisms' physiology, behaviour and ecology scale up to generate broad-scale general ecological patterns through space and time, with particular emphasis on limits to species' distributions. His work integrates approaches from physiological and functional ecology with macroecological and macroevolutionary modelling. His work spans a range of systems, including tropical lizards, boreal amphibians and vector-borne disease.

Jonathan (Yoni) Belmaker is a Professor in the School of Zoology and the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Tel Aviv University. His research interests are diverse and include community ecology, biogeography and macroecology. He is specifically interested in understanding how patterns of biodiversity and the underlying processes vary across geographical and environmental gradients and across scales. He uses a multi-directional approach that brings together experimental manipulations, large scale observations and computer modeling to examine these questions. He focuses on the marine realm, but also studies other systems.

Huijie Qiao is a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His work broadly explores macroecology, with a particular focus on clarifying the theoretical and methodological foundations of ecological niche modeling (species distribution modeling). He has also developed a simulation framework aimed at understanding the causal mechanisms that shape biodiversity across both long- and short-term scales. This framework, implemented in multiple programming languages, utilizes virtual and realistic climate change scenarios alongside geographic landscapes and virtual species data to test hypotheses about how factors such as niche breadth, dispersal ability, evolutionary strategies, and climate influence biodiversity patterns. Additionally, he has contributed to the collection, sharing, and analysis of biodiversity data, as well as to research on biodiversity conservation issues derived from these datasets.

Catherine Sheard

School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen
Aberdeen, United Kingdom

Catherine Sheard is an Interdisciplinary Fellow / Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen. Her research combines methods from macroecology and macroevolution to study biodiversity change from a global perspective, with particular attention to the role of behavioural traits in structuring broad evolutionary processes. Her work primarily focuses on birds and mammals, but with an additional longstanding interest in translating models of biological evolution to examine macro-scale patterns in the diversity of human language and culture.

Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London,
London, United Kingdom

Bonnie Waring is a Reader in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. Previously, she was an Assistant Professor at Utah State University (2016-2020). She is an ecosystems ecologist and biogeochemist, with field experience in Central America, the desert Southwest (USA), and the Arctic. Her research focuses on understanding carbon-climate feedbacks in land ecosystems, and on the efficacy of natural climate solutions to facilitate carbon sequestration in plant biomass and in soils. This work involves large-scale ecosystem experiments, meta-analysis, and the development of biogeochemical models.
