Willis, Trevor - The University of Portsmouth - School of Biological Sciences

个人简介

I am a marine ecologist and completed BSc and MSc at Victoria University of Wellington, and PhD at the University of Auckland’s Leigh Marine Laboratory. I spent two years on a postdoc in the Statistics Department at Auckland, followed by four years as a research fellow at the University of Bologna in Italy. I then moved back to New Zealand at the beginning of 2007 to work for NIWA as a senior scientist. I joined the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Portsmouth in April 2012. My past research has focused on the effects of marine reserves (or MPAs), but I have also been involved in studies of fish movement, fish assemblage relationships with habitat, small-scale fisheries assessments, and survey methodologies for fishes. I have also been drawn into studies on soft-sediment ecosystems, distribution of marine mammals, and ecological statistics. My current research is concentrated on the functional role of predators in coastal marine systems and their impacts on the trophic structure of reef assemblages, and patterns in marine species diversity and functional diversity at varying scales. I am based at the Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS).
