Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

NICHOLAS J. GOTELLI is Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Vermont, USA. He graduated with a BA from the University of California, Berkeley in 1980, and earned his PhD at Florida State University in 1985. He is also the author of A Primer of Ecology, Fourth Edition (2008, Sinauer Associates, Inc.), Null Models in Ecology (with Gary R. Graves; 1996, Smithsonian Press), A Field Guide to the Ants of New England (with Aaron M. Ellison, Elizabeth J. Farnsworth, and Gary D. Alpert; 2012, Yale University Press), and EcoSim, an ecological software package. His research interests include: the evolutionary ecology of carnivorous plants, heat shock proteins and the responses of ant assemblages to climate change, environmental proteomics, biogeography, and statistical ecology. Dr. Gotelli currently serves on the editorial boards of Ecology, The Journal of Biogeography, Scientific Reports, and Myrmecological News.
AARON M. ELLISON is Senior Research Fellow in Ecology at the Harvard Forest and Adjunct Professor in the Graduate Program in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA. He received a BA in 1982 from Yale University and a PhD from Brown University in 1986. Dr. Ellison received the National Science Foundation's Presidential Faculty Fellow award in 1992 for 'demonstrated excellence and continued promise both in scientific and engineering research and in teaching future generations of students to extend and apply human knowledge.' He is also the author of A Field Guide to the Ants of New England (with Nicholas J. Gotelli, Elizabeth J. Farnsworth, and Gary D. Alpert; 2012, Yale University Press). His research foci include: food web dynamics, community ecology of wetlands and forests, evolutionary ecology of carnivorous plants, and the application of Bayesian inference to ecological research and environmental decision-making. Dr. Ellison is the Editor-in-Chief of Ecological Monographs.
