Über den Autor
Professor Willig is an ecologist and biodiversity scientist at the University of Connecticut. His research explores the responses of populations, communities, and metacommunities to disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic, as well as to environmental gradients associated with elevation, latitude, and productivity. He has been an active member of the Luquillo Mountains LTER site since its initial funding by the National Science Foundation over 25 years ago.Professor Walker is an ecologist at the University of Nevada Las Vegas who studies plant succession and the disturbances, both natural and human-caused, that trigger it in many ecosystems around the world. He has been an active member of the Luquillo Mountains LTER site since its initial funding by the National Science Foundation over 25 years ago.
