Erin Espeland Erin K. Espeland, PhD is a Research Ecologist with the USDA-ARS Pest Management Research Unit, Sidney MT USA. Her research focuses on establishment, genetic identity, and evolutionary potential of restored native populations in the face of biological invasions. This research includes the roles of competition and facilitation on restoration success and the contributions of genetic identity, diversity, and maternal effects on the establishment of restoration materials. She has recently expanded her research program to track whole-ecosystem recovery after weed removal and restoration; this includes bird, insect, and plant populations as well as soil conditions.
Holly Jones Holly Jones, PhD is an ecosystem/restoration ecologist who uses interdisciplinary, cross-scale methods to answer applied biological research questions. Her research group studies the causes and consequences of ecosystem degradation and species endangerment and pursues research that seeks to understand how we can prioritize restoration and conservation efforts, identify innovative restoration/conservation strategies, and highlight solutions to declining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Her current projects include using meta-analysis to search for patterns in recovery and restoration; quantifying the effects of vertebrate eradications on threatened island-breeding species; quantifying bison reintroduction impacts on restored prairies; and investigating recovery trajectories of New Zealand islands following rodent removal.
Roger Mann Roger Mann, PhD is a Professor of Marine Science at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) and College of William and Mary. He holds a BSc from the University of East Anglia in Biology and a PhD in Marine Science from Bangor University. After post-doctoral and staff appointments at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution he joined the VIMS faculty in 1985. He served as the VIMS Director of Research and Advisory Services from 2003 through 2012. His research interests include marine ecology, molluscan physiology, fisheries, invasive species, and climate change. He has published over 130 journal contributions and edited several books.
