Jason Matthiopoulos

Jason Matthiopoulos is Professor of Spatial and Population Ecology at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He has a joint degree in mathematics and zoology, a PhD in population ecology, qualifications in statistics, and over 20 years' experience in teaching mathematics, statistics and computing to biology students at all levels.

His research interests revolve around animal population and spatial ecology and he has published widely on taxa as diverse as invertebrates, birds and mammals. He has been a member of the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (St Andrews), the National Centre for Statistical Ecology (UK), the Boyd Orr Centre for Ecosystem Health (Glasgow) and the editorial boards of Methods in Ecology and Evolution, the Journal of Applied Ecology and Endangered Species Research.

Mathematics was, by far, Jason's worst subject at school.
