 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 Research School of Biology, 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 worked on marine macroalgae in general, and coralline algae in particular, at Te Papa (1999-2002) and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) (2002-2011) in Wellington. While her engagement with macroalgae moved from professional to amateur in 2011 when she moved to a non-research position at the Royal Society of New Zealand, she's still planning on keeping a finger in the seaweed pie.

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.
