معرفی
Jason Tylianakis is a Professor of Ecology at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London. His research focuses on how environmental changes impact species interactions, particularly in ecological networks like food webs and pollination systems. He holds a joint appointment between the two institutions and leads the Tylianakis Lab Group, which explores biodiversity conservation, agricultural sustainability, and climate change effects.
Education: PhD in Ecology from the University of Göttingen (Germany), MSc from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). His work has been featured in high-impact journals like Science and Nature, and he serves on editorial boards for Journal of Animal Ecology and New Zealand Journal of Ecology.
Research Interests: Ecological networks, biodiversity-ecosystem functioning, coevolutionary dynamics, and win-win solutions for agriculture and conservation. He uses experimental and theoretical approaches to study species interactions, trait matching, and landscape-scale processes.
Recent Articles: Focus on climate-driven shifts in seasonal patterns, invasive species impacts, and network stability. Key areas include phenology changes, exotic species dominance, and coevolutionary responses to environmental pressures.
- Awards: Rutherford Discovery Fellow, Royal Society of New Zealand Fellow, University of Canterbury Research Medal.
Advising & Grants: Supervises over 20 PhD/Master’s students and postdocs. Collaborates with global initiatives like the Bioprotection Aotearoa Centre and contributes to policy through roles on the Ministry for the Environment’s Science Advisory Panel.
Labs/Teams: Leads interdisciplinary projects with the Tylianakis Lab Group and collaborates with Daniel Stouffer’s lab. Current research includes eco-evolutionary processes in biological control and social-ecological networks.
