University of Melbourne, Australia
Mark J. McDonnell is an Honorary Principal Fellow with the title Associate Professor in the School of BioSciences at the University of Melbourne. He served as the founding Director of the Australian Research Centre for Urban Ecology (ARCUE) from 1998 until 2016 where he led a team of researchers focused on using ecological to promote the creation of resilient, healthy and liveable cities. His research interests range widely, and include the processes driving vegetation and ecosystem change, landscape ecology, the structure and function of urban ecosystems, and the conservation and management of urban biodiversity. In all these areas, he is concerned about bringing high-quality ecological data and the understanding of basic ecological processes to bear on problems of conservation and management of urban ecosystems. He has conducted pioneering research on the study of urban-rural gradients and the comparative ecology of cities and towns around the globe.
