个人简介

I am joint author of Wood Decomposition: its Biology and Ecology, and of over 200 papers on microbial ecology. I am a woodland fungal ecologist, especially interested in community function and development in fallen wood and standing trees, mycelial interactions, foraging and translocation by cord-forming fungi, interactions between saprotrophic, mycorrhizal and root-pathogenic mycelia, fungus-invertebrate interactions, and the effect of climate change on fungi. Contributions to this field have been recognized by receipt of the British Mycological Society (BMS) Berkeley Award in 1989, and the 1991 Society of General Microbiology Fleming Lectureship. I ggave the Ohn Karling lecture to the Mycological Society of America in 1999, and was awarded a Personal Chair in 1996. I was vice-president of the British Mycological Society in 1995 and am now serving again on BMS Council, publications committees and program committee. I have organised numerous national BMS and International symposia on various aspects of fungal ecology, most recently being the BMS Meeting "Ecology of Fungal Communities ( Manchester, 2007). I am the chief editor of the newly launched BMS/Elsevier journal "Fungal Ecology". I have collaborated widely on ecological projects, both in the UK and abroad. I am also interested in the application of mathematical and computing techniques to answer biological questions. In particular the use of graph theory to understand the properties of fungal mycelial network architecture, in collaboration with Mark Fricker ( University of Oxford). We have also made considerable advances in identification of phyloplankton from flow cytometry data using artificial neural networks, working in collaboration with Colin Morris ( University of Glamorgan). I am a member of the editorial board of "Ecological Informatics", and the organising committee of the International Conference on Ecological Informatics.

研究领域

I am a decomposition ecologist / fungal ecologist. I have researched the ecology of wood decomposition, including wood decomposition processes, synecology and autecology, since the mid 1970s. I have pioneered work on the fungal community structure and dynamics of wood. I investigate the outcome of fungal interactions in artificial and more natural conditions, how these change depending on biotic and abiotic factors, and use this information to explain patterns of fungal community structure and development. I have begun to relate community structure and development to decomposition rate. A deeper understanding of interactions and their effects is now coming from studying gene expression during interspecific interactions in near natural conditions, and production of volatile and diffusible organic compounds during mycelial interactions. I have investigated the network architecture of mycelia growing in soil, and my work has revealed the foraging ecology and key roles of cord-forming basidiomycetes in nutrient translocation and wood decay in forest ecosytems. My group has made major advances in understanding the effects of invertebrate grazing on fungal foraging, communities and nutrient release. Recent work has revealed major phenological trends in fungal fruiting (implying major changes in mycelial activity), crucial to ecosystem functioning. I am a leading authority on basidiomycete ecology, and have published over 250 papers and books on the ecology of wood decomposition.
