Andy Purvis is a Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. His research focuses on biodiversity science, using diverse taxa to study fundamental ecological questions. He leads projects such as the PREDICTS project, which aims to build a global model of how local biodiversity responds to human impacts on ecosystems. He collaborates with various renowned institutions including the United Nations Environment Programme, University College London, the University of Sussex, and Microsoft Research. His work also investigates the evolutionary dynamics of species in changing global climates, specifically how factors such as climate change influence species distribution and macroevolutionary trends. Purvis contributes significantly to the understanding of British biodiversity and engages in research analyzing the historical distributions of flora and fauna. His publications have addressed issues such as molecular evolution related to speciation and the complexity of body size evolution in mammals. Purvis's expertise extends to implementing statistical modeling approaches to study ecological interactions and evolutionary processes.
