About
Peter Wilson is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University, where he contributes to research in ecology and environmental science. His work is closely associated with climate change impacts, biodiversity conservation, and species distribution modeling, particularly in Australian rainforest ecosystems.
His primary research interests include:
- Climate Change
- Rainforest Ecology
- Species Distribution Modeling
- Biodiversity Conservation
- Habitat Suitability
- Biogeography
Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on identifying climate refugia, assessing tree species inventory completeness, and understanding the genetic and ecological dynamics of plant species under environmental change. His work integrates phylogeography, ecological modeling, and conservation planning to support evidence-based environmental management.
Notable research themes across his publications include:
- Climate refugia and long-term species persistence
- Global tree species inventory gaps
- Provenancing strategies in ecological restoration
- Habitat suitability and nonequilibrium dynamics
- Impacts of climate change on rainforest plant distributions
Peter Wilson collaborates with leading researchers in environmental science and has contributed to major projects such as the Climate Futures at Macquarie Centre. He is actively publishing in high-impact journals including Diversity and Distributions, Evolution, and Landscape Ecology.
