About the Author
James F. Cahill Jr., or “JC” as he is generally known, is a Professor of Biology at the University of Alberta. He received his B.A. in Cultural Ecology and Biology from Trinity College (CT) in 1992 and his Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997. After first teaching ecology at several universities in the United States, he joined the faculty at the University of Alberta in 1999. JC was trained as an experimental plant ecologist, originally interested primarily in the role competition plays in structuring plant communities. Although still interested in the causes and consequences of plant competition, his research has expanded to include plant-animal interactions, soil ecology, evolution of ecological traits, and plant behavioural ecology. In addition, JC is leading large, multi-investigator projects examining the combined impacts of grazing and climate change on the sustainability of Canada’s grasslands and a second project studying the linkages among the mountain pine beetle, pine trees, and soil fungi. To address these questions, he maintains a highly productive and active research lab including postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, undergraduates, and occasionally high school students. His research contributions have been recognized by the scientific community, both by being asked to serve as an Associate Editor at the Journal of Ecology, as well as by being awarded a “Discovery Accelerator Grant” by NSERC, the main funding organization for ecology in Canada. Being a professor is more than just research, and teaching and service are important aspects of the job for JC. He has taught a wide variety of courses for undergraduate and graduate students, including Principles of Ecology, Fundamentals of Plant Biology, Plant Ecology, Methods in Plant Ecology, Plant–Animal Interactions, Ecology of Belowground Communities, Current Topics in Plant Ecology, and Advanced Ecology. It was through his experiences in the classroom that JC realized how much difficulty many students were having connecting to the ecological concepts being presented. It was his desire to enhance student learning that led to his participation in this textbook.
