Biography

Joshua Scott Lynn is an ecologist and lecturer in Global Change Biology at the University of Manchester. He grew up in New York, USA, and graduated with a BSc in Biology and Philosophy from Syracuse University in 2013. In 2019, he obtained his PhD from the University of New Mexico and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Bergen, Norway, before joining the University of Manchester in 2022. Joshua's research focuses on testing theories that predict ecological phenomena at the intersection of local, regional, and global scales. He addresses fundamental questions such as the causes of species' limited geographic distributions, how the physical environment shapes species interactions, and how individual physiology can predict phenomena at higher levels of biological organization. His work aims to create predictive ecology to prepare for the consequences of climate change and global shifts. His expertise relates directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing his contributions to global environmental sustainability.
