Robert A. Francis is Reader in Ecology in the Department of Geography at King’s College London. His research focuses on urban ecology, freshwater ecology, and nature and society interactions. He edited A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species and co-edited Urban Landscape Ecology: Science Policy and Practice (with James D.A. Millington and Michael A. Chadwick) and The Routledge Handbook of Biosecurity and Invasive Species (with Kezia Barker), all by Routledge. James D.A. Millington is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography at King’s College London. He is a geographer and landscape ecologist with expertise in using computational and statistical modelling tools to investigate spatial ecological and socio-economic processes and their interaction. Research topics include agent-based modelling, ecological impacts of land use change and disturbances (particularly wildfires), and telecoupling. He is the co-editor of Urban Landscape Ecology: Science Policy and Practice (with Robert A. Francis and Michael A. Chadwick). George L.W. Perry is Professor in the School of Environment at the University of Auckland. His research is focused on the dynamics of forest ecosystems at spatial scales from the population to the landscape and at temporal scales from decades to millennia. Emily S. Minor is Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her research explores human alteration of the landscape and how this can affect ecological communities and processes at the landscape scale.
