O autorze

Max Lambert is the Aquatic Research Section Manager at Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Olympia, USA. A conservation biologist who focuses predominantly on amphibians and reptiles, he has over a decade of experience as a research biologist studying how human activities influence wildlife and how animals subsequently evolve to deal with novel environmental conditions, both in natural environments and in our cities and suburbs. A lifetime member of the Society for Conservation Biology, in 2019 he was awarded a David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship which seeks to develop future world leaders and entrepreneurs who are successful at linking conservation science and application. He is currently an editor of Ecological Solutions and Evidence, a new journal from the British Ecological Society that publishes studies from academics and practitioners on conservation. Christopher Schell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He is an urban ecologist whose research integrates evolutionary theory with ecological application to disentangle the processes accentuating human-carnivore conflict. He works closely with underrepresented communities, wildlife managers, cultural institutions, and philanthropic organizations to help foster mutually enriching relationships among people and wildlife. He is a board member of the Urban Wildlife Working Group through The Wildlife Society and is also the Diversity Officer for the Animal Behavior Society.
