Charles Krebs

Professor Krebs' major contributions have been in population dynamics of small mammals, especially of sub-Arctic Canada. He pioneered experimental methods that demonstrated the importance of dispersal in populations of meadow voles, mice and lemmings. His textbook Ecology has been the standard work in North America since 1994. He was Chief of CSIRO Wildlife Research (1982-84) and, since 1993, has been an active participant and senior adviser on the Ecology program of the Vertebrate Biocontrol CRC and its successor the Pest Animal CRC. He was a McMaster Fellow (1992-3), a Commonwealth Fellow (1997) and a Visiting Fellow in CSIRO during 1999-2000.
