 Alecia
Bellgrove
Alecia's interests lie broadly
in population and community ecology of marine
algae and invertebrates. Her research has largely
focussed on the intertidal environment of wave-exposed
rocky shores. She is also interested in human
impacts on the marine environment.

Jo
Jones
Jo was a founding member of ASPAB.
Jo retired from the University of Liverpool in
the UK and moved to Australia where she is now
a Visiting Fellow in the School of Botany and
Zoology, Australian National University. Jo spends
much of her spare time carrying out intertidal
research near Batemans Bay, NSW.

Tracy
Farr
Tracy worked and studied in Australia
and Canada before settling in 1996 in New Zealand,
where she fell, very happily, out of biomedical
science and into macroalgal research. She works
at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric
Research (NIWA) in Wellington, and her current
research focus is on marine macroalgae in general,
and coralline algae in particular.

Erasmo
Macaya Horta
Erasmo is a chilean PhD student
at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
Erasmo is studing the dispersal patterns of the
giant kelp Macrocystis. He has interest
in algal taxonomy, algae aquaculture, ecology
of floating macroalgae, defenses of macroalgae
and genetics of kelp populations.

Fred
Gurgel
My research focus is on the systematics of these
organisms. My ultimate phycological interest is
to bridge the fields of taxonomy, molecular biology,
ecology, organismal biology and biogeography to
create a more holistic understanding of macroalgal
evolution, distribution and biodiversity.

Kyatt
Dixon
Kyatt is interested in the taxonomy
and systematics of red algae from both tropical
and temperate regions and is currently completing
his PhD investigating the phylogenetics and cryptic
diversity within the crustose red algal family
Peyssonneliaceae at the University of Melbourne.
