ER-invited speakers
Dr. Vojtech Novotny
Symposium S17 March 6 9:30-12:30 Room C
Forest canopy ecology: roles and prospects in forest biology
Profile: Vojtech Novotny studies ecology of forest ecosystems, particularly forest biodiversity and interactions between plants, insects and vertebrates in food webs. This research includes the study of biodiversity and its ecological drivers, using community-level experiments. It is focused especially on tropical rainforests, particularly in Papua New Guinea. The research also extends to the problems of sustainable land use and biodiversity conservation by indigenous rainforest-dwelling communities. V. Novotny is Head of the Department of Ecology at the Czech Academy of Sciences, Professor of Ecology at the University of South Bohemia (Czechia), and Director of the New Guinea Binatang Research Center (Papua New Guinea). He is Vice-President of the Society for Tropical Ecology and a member of the Academia Europaea.
Dr. Shripad Tuljapurkar
Symposium S28 March 8 9:30-12:30 Room E
Eco-evolutionary demography
Profile: Shripad Tuljapurkar is Professor of Biology and the Morrison Professor of Population Studies at Stanford University. His research areas include stochastic dynamics of human and natural populations; prehistoric societies; and probability forecasts including sex ratios, mortality, aging and fiscal balance.
Tuljapurkar is a member of the Center for the Demography and Economics of Aging at the University of California, Berkeley. He has led a panel on aging for the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population, served on the Technical Advisory Panel to the US Social Security Administration, and been president of the Evolutionary Demography Society. He received the 1996 Mindel Sheps Award from the Population Association of America, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1998, and the Weldon Memorial Prize from Oxford University in 2017.
