Dr. Johannes Le Roux currently serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He is also International Research Associate in the Centre for Invasion Biology at Stellenbosch University in Stellenbosch, South Africa. He received his PhD from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences. Dr. Le Roux's principal research interests focus around molecular ecology and population dynamics of invasive species, evolutionary biology, biogeography of plants, and plant-microbial interactions. In addition to publishing numerous scholarly articles and book chapters on invasive species, Dr. Le Roux currently serves as Associate Editor for Austral Ecology, Biological Invasions, and Oecologia.
