John J. Gilbert (July 18, 1937) is an American biologist. He taught at Princeton University and Dartmouth College, and received the 2003 A.C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award. He is currently professor emeritus of biology at Darmouth.
Gilbert received a B.A. (with Honors) in Biology, from Williams College (1959), a Ph.D. in Biology from Williams College (1963) and an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow from the Department of Zoology at the University of Washington (1963–64).
In 2003 Gilbert received the lifetime award "For developing and sustaining the field of rotifer ecology and biology; for successful mentorship for more than a quarter century; and for vital service contributions to the national and international communities of limnologists and oceanographers."
Between 1973 and 1978 he was the recipient of the NIH Career Development Award.
Gilbert has held the following teaching roles in Biology: he was the assistant professor in the Department of Biology at Princeton University between 1964 and 1966, at the Department of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College between 1966 and 1969 (where for the following five years he held the role following his retirement, he retired he earned the status of professor emeritus).
In 1997 Gilbert received the William Evans Visiting Fellowship from the Department of Zoology at the University of Otago, New Zealand. [1]
Gilbert has been a member of the following scientific associations: the American Society of Zoologists (between 1964 and 1988), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (which he joined in 1963 and was also a Fellow), the Ecological Society of America and the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, the International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology (all of which he joined in 1964).
Harold Tafler Shapiro is an economist and university administrator. He is currently a professor of economics and public affairs at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. Shapiro served as the president of University of Michigan from 1980 to 1988 and as the president of Princeton University from 1988 to 2001.
Ramon Margalef i López was a Spanish biologist and ecologist. He was Emeritus Professor of Ecology at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona. Margalef, one of the most prominent scientists that Spain has produced, worked at the Institute of Applied Biology (1946–1951), and at the Fisheries Research Institute, which he directed during 1966–1967. He created the Department of Ecology of the University of Barcelona, from where he trained a huge number of ecologists, limnologists and oceanographers. In 1967 he became Spain's first professor of ecology.
Gene Elden Likens is an American limnologist and ecologist. He co-founded the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in 1963, and founded the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York in 1983.
Stephen P. Hubbell is an American ecologist on the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles. He is author of the unified neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography (UNTB), which seeks to explain the diversity and relative abundance of species in ecological communities not by niche differences but by stochastic processes among ecologically equivalent species. Hubbell is also a senior staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Balboa, Panama. He is also well known for tropical forest studies. In 1980, he and Robin B. Foster of the Field Museum in Chicago, launched the first of the 50 hectare forest dynamics studies on Barro Colorado Island in Panama. This plot became the flagship of a global network of large permanent forest dynamics plots, all following identical measurement protocols. This global network now has more than 70 plots in 28 countries, and these plots contain more than 12000 tree species and 7 million individual trees that are tagged, mapped, and monitored long-term for growth, survival and recruitment. The Center for Tropical Forest Science coordinates research across global network of plots through the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. The program has expanded into the temperate zone, and is now known as the Forest Global Earth Observatory Network or ForestGEO.
Alfred Clarence Redfield was an American oceanographer known for having discovered the Redfield ratio, which describes the ratio between nutrients in plankton and ocean water. He was a professor of physiology at Harvard University and one of the original staff of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution upon its founding in 1930.
