Jeff visits IOZ on Monday

Professor Jeff Ollerton visited the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences on Monday this week. He gave a brilliant talk on wild pollinator bee diversity and ecosystem services. His talk includes several parts impressed the audience. He did great job to associate the significant diversity dynamics with the 4 major events including World War II and agriculture policy changes. Besides, he brought a fine art book, British field guid to wild bees. The book includes 270 species and many colorful pictures taken in the field. We expect we can compile another one in China to be helpful for other researchers.

Jeff Ollerton教授周一到访动物研究所,就野生蜜蜂多样性和生态功能做了一场精彩的学术报告。他的报告令我印象最深的是对英国中部野生蜜蜂20年来物种多样性变化和近代历史上4次重大事件或农业政策变化之间关联性的研究。另外,Jeff给我带了一件精美的礼物:英国野生蜜蜂野外手册。该手册涉及英国270种物种,并配以彩色生态照片。期待不远的将来,我们也能够编撰这样一部志书,方便各个学科的学者使用。

2月23-26日,我有幸受邀参加了中美生命之树研讨班,并作两个讨论小组发言。此次会议由基金委主办,华南植物园协办的会议。会议目的是促进中美在生物系统学领域的合作。

个人最大的感受:1)会议形式非常灵活;2)会议考虑到合作研究中普遍受到关注的问题(见加下划线部分);3)会议代表来自病毒学、微生物学、动物学、植物学等多个学科领域;4)美方Pat、Karl等是会议讨论的灵魂人物,牢牢把握了研讨会的方向。

中国每个学科领域都有专业学会、专业委员会及其例会,但是缺乏跨类群关注系统学或进化生物学的专业组织。相信此次会议会启发部分代表,并酝酿启动中国系统学与进化生物学学术组织(Association of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology, China)。

EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION

September2014 to present

Head of Research and Enterprise in the School of Science and Technology.

September2012

Promoted to Professor of Biodiversity, School of Science and Technology, The Universityof Northampton.

Current roles include: chair of theSchool of Science and Technology Research and Enterprise Committee; membershipof the Science Research Degrees Board; contributing to research student andearly career researcher training across the university; teaching and moduleleadership within the Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences; leadershipof the Landscape and Biodiversity Research Group.  I also led the Research Excellence Framework(REF) submission to UoA17 (Geography and Environmental Studies) and in thatrole sat on the University’s REF Working Group.

September2010

Promoted to Reader in Biodiversity, School of Science and Technology, The University ofNorthampton.  In addition I was theSchool’s Research Coordinator (0.5 appointment, effective October 2009).

1995- 2010

Lecturer, then Senior Lecturer, in the Division of Environmental Science, School ofApplied Sciences (now School of Science and Technology), The University ofNorthampton (formerly Nene College, then University College Northampton).  Lecturing on BSc courses in ConservationBiology, Biology and Environmental Science, and MSc Environmental Management.

Previous duties have included:Admissions Tutor for Ecology (1995-1999); Course Leader for MSc EnvironmentalManagement (1997-1999); founder and course leader for BSc (Hons) Biology (1999to 2010); Postgraduate Degrees Tutor for the Division of Environmental Science(2001-2004); member of the Research Degrees Committee of the University(2004-2007); Postgraduate Research Training Framework Coordinator for theUniversity (2001-2007).  The role ofPostgraduate Research Training Framework Coordinator is particularly noteworthyas this was in the period just prior to the then University CollegeNorthampton’s application for Research Degree Awarding Powers and fulluniversity status.  The generic trainingprogramme that I developed and implemented was widely acknowledged within theuniversity, and in the QAA’s subsequent report, as playing a significant rolein the institution successfully attaining full university status.  Although I stepped down from this role in 2007to focus on other activities, I continue to be involved in the twice-yearlyresearch student induction weeks, and the evening and weekend trainingworkshops.  The time that I spent in therole of Postgraduate Research Training Framework Coordinator is one of the mostfulfilling periods of my career to date and I was pleased to play a part,however minor, in a significant developmental stage of the University ofNorthampton.

1994– 1995

Parttime lecturer, Oxford Brookes University.

1993– 1994

Visiting postdoctoral researcher based at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia,studying the pollination ecology of Australian Piperaceae.  Hosted by Professor Andrew Beattie and fundedby grants from the British Ecological Society, the Percy Sladen Memorial Fund(Linnean Society of London) and the British Council.

1989- 1993

PhD:”Ecology of flowering and fruiting in Lotuscorniculatus L.”, Oxford Brookes University (Supervisors: Dr. AndrewLack and Dr Denis Owen).

This research was anassessment of the interaction of flowering phenology, pollinator activity,plant size, seed predation and reproductive output using the Wytham Woodspopulations of Lotus corniculatus(Fabaceae) as a case study.  Whilstcarrying out the research I was at the same time employed as a PostgraduateTeaching Assistant, running tutorials and assisting with laboratory and fieldwork for undergraduate courses.

1987- 1989

BSc(Hons) Environmental Biology (2:i) Oxford Brookes University.

RESEARCHAND SCHOLARLY INTERESTS

The ecology, evolution and conservation the Earth’s biodiversity defines the broad scope ofmy professional interests.  Within thisvast field I mainly work on the biogeography and biodiversity of mutualisticspecies interactions, such as plant-pollinator relationships, in which allparticipants benefit from the relationship. Mutualisms are hugely important ecological relationships that play keyroles in determining community structure and ecosystem function, as well asbeing the basis for ecosystem services of human value, for example croppollination.  As well as plant-pollinatorrelationships, I also work on non-terrestrial mutualisms such as those betweenanemonefish and sea anemones.

In addition I havea wider interest in how biodiversity contributes to human society throughecosystem goods and services, how that biodiversity may be conserved in anever-changing world, and how we have arrived at our current understanding ofthe biogeography and biodiversity of the natural world.  This links to the research and writing I doin the area of the history of human understanding and exploitation ofbiodiversity, specifically botanical science and horticulturalexploration.  The main current project isa biography of John Tweedie, a notable 19th Century plant collector who was asignificant early collector working in the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil and inthe pampas grasslands.  In addition heintroduced a number of plants from South America that continue to be grown inBritish gardens.

Current internationalresearch collaborations include projects related to the biogeography ofplant-pollinator interactions (e.g. Prof. Nick Waser, Prof. Mary Price, Dr Ruben Alarcón in the USA); the ecology of flowering time with Mexicancolleagues (Prof. Victor Parra-Tabla and Dr Miguel Munguía-Rosas) and theeffect of historical climates on pollination systems (Dr Bo Dalsgaard, University of Copenhagen, Denmark).

This research has been covered by a range of local, national and international media, and I am regularly interviewed about my work.

RESEARCH IMPACT

The decline of bees, hoverflies, and other pollinators has been widely described as a“pollination crisis” (e.g. Progress Report of FAO on the Implementation of theInternational Pollinators Initiative – September 2012) which could haveprofound effects on both food security, and wild plant populations and theecosystem services they support.  Researchby myself and colleagues into the ecology and diversity of plant-pollinatorinteractions has: (a) provided a scientific evidence base that has influencednational and international policies relating to the conservation of pollinatorpopulations; (b) raised national and international public awareness of thesubject of pollinator conservation; and (c) led to positive changes in UKgardening practices.  This wasacknowledged by a successful REF Impact Case Study entitled “Pollinatorconservation: impact on government policy and public practices – 1996 to 2013”(copy available on request)

PUBLICATIONS

Since1992 I have published or in press, 60 peer reviewed research papers, bookchapters and edited books, the majority as first or sole author.  High Impact Factor journals publishing mypeer-reviewed work include ScienceEcologyProceedings of the Royal Society B, and Ecology Letters.  One ofthese papers (Waser et al. 1996) isnow the third most highly cited paper in the field of pollination ecology with904 citations.  The average citation ratefor my peer-reviewed research outputs is 49.5 citations per paper and myh-index currently stands at 23 (source for all statistics: ISI Web of Science,all databases, October 2015).  Citationrates and h-index using the less conservative Google Scholar are, of course,significantly higher.

As well as these peer reviewed research outputs I have contributed non-peerreviewed commentaries, book reviews, popular articles and editorials tomagazines and journals, including Natureand Science.

I have co-editedand contributed chapters to two collections of papers: a festschrift in honour of the late Professor Knut Faegri (Totland et al. 2000); and a major volume for theUniversity of Chicago Press (Waser & Ollerton 2006).  The latter received a series of enthusiasticreviews in international journals, with statements such as: “an important contribution to ourunderstanding of plant–pollinator interactions” and “a masterful overview of a rich field in a stage of dynamic ferment”.
