Kimberly A. With is an American ecologist. She is a Full Professor in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University.
Between 1988 and 1992,With served as Associate Editor for the journal Proceedings of the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, published by the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. [1] She simultaneously earned her PhD in Biology from Colorado State University.
After receiving her PhD,With sat on the Executive Committee of the Theoretical Ecology Section as a Secretary Officer for the Ecological Society of America from 1995–1997. [2] During this time,her paper "Critical thresholds in species' responses to landscape structure" earned her the Award for Outstanding Paper published in the discipline of Landscape Ecology by the U. S. Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape Ecology. [3] She also led an investigation with fellow Bowling Green State University professor Daniel Pavuk to examine the effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Biodiversity and Trophic Linkages in Experimental Fractal Landscapes. [4]
In 2000,she left Bowling Green State University to become an Assistant Professor at Kansas State University. [1] She also joined the Konza Prairie LTER,a program designed to address long-term research questions relevant to tallgrass prairie ecosystems,and the science of ecology in general. [5] In 2002,With was again the recipient of the Award for Outstanding Paper,making her the only person to be awarded this distinction twice. [6]
In 2009,With led a study which found that birds were not breeding successfully in the Flint Hills and more than 80 percent of nests were destroyed by predators. The results of her study was published in the journal Biological Conservation . [7] She then took a sabbatical leave during the 2010-2011 academic year. [8] In 2013,With was promoted to Full Professor in the Department of Biology. [9]
In 2016,With was the recipient of the Distinguished Landscape Ecologist Award from the U.S.-International Association for Landscape Ecology. [10] Three years later,she received a Faculty Development Awards from Kansas State University to fund future research endeavorments. [11] On August 29,2019,With published "Essentials of Landscape Ecology" through the Oxford University Press. [12]
Simon Asher Levin is an American ecologist and the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the director of the Center for BioComplexity at Princeton University. He specializes in using mathematical modeling and empirical studies in the understanding of macroscopic patterns of ecosystems and biological diversities.
The Konza Prairie Biological Station is a 8,616-acre (3,487 ha) protected area of native tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills of northeastern Kansas. "Konza" is an alternative name for the Kansa or Kaw Indians who inhabited this area until the mid-19th century. The Konza Prairie is owned by The Nature Conservancy and Kansas State University.
Steven Neil Handel is an American educator and restoration ecologist. Handel is currently Distinguished Professor of Ecology at Rutgers University and Visiting Professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
Monica G. Turner is an American ecologist known for her work at Yellowstone National Park since the large fires of 1988. She is currently the Eugene P. Odum Professor of Ecology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Professor David Lindenmayer,,is an Australian scientist and academic. His research focuses on the adoption of nature conservation practices in agricultural production areas,developing ways to improve integration of native forest harvesting and biodiversity conservation,new approaches to enhance biodiversity conservation in plantations,and improved fire management practices in Australia. He specialises in large-scale,long-term research monitoring programs in south-eastern Australia,primarily in forests,reserves,national parks,plantations,and on farm land.
William F. Laurance,also known as Bill Laurance,is Distinguished Research Professor at James Cook University,Australia and has been elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. He has received an Australian Laureate Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. He held the Prince Bernhard Chair for International Nature Conservation at Utrecht University,Netherlands from 2010 to 2014.
Mary Eleanor Power is Professor of the Graduate School in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California,Berkeley. Power is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences,the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,and the California Academy of Sciences. She holds an honorary doctorate from UmeåUniversity,Sweden,and is a recipient of the G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography,and the Kempe Award for Distinguished Ecologists (2004).
Deborah K. Steinberg is an American Antarctic biological oceanographer who works on interdisciplinary oceanographic research programs. Steinberg's research focuses on the role that zooplankton play in marine food webs and the global carbon cycle,and how these small drifting animals are affected by changes in climate.
Diana Harrison Wall is the founding director of the School of Global Environmental Sustainability,a distinguished biology professor,and senior research scientist at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University. She is an environmental scientist and a soil ecologist and her research has focussed on the Antarctic McMurdo Dry Valleys. Wall investigates ecosystem processes,soil biodiversity and ecosystem services and she is interested in how these are impacted by global change. The Wall Valley was named after her in recognition of her research in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Wall is a globally recognised leader and speaker on life in Antarctica and climate change.
Cristina Takacs-Vesbach is an American microbial ecologist conducting research on the productivity,diversity,and function of microbial communities living at the two extremes of temperature found on Earth-Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys and Yellowstone National Park's thermal springs.
Sarah E. Hobbie is an American ecologist,currently at the University of Minnesota,a National Academy of Sciences Fellow for Ecology,Evolution and Behavior in 2014 and a formerly Minnesota McKnight Land-Grant Professor.
