Joshua Scott Lynn is an ecologist and Lecturer in Global Change Biology at the University of Manchester. He grew up in upstate New York, USA, graduated with a BSc in Biology and Philosophy from Syracuse University in 2013, and received his PhD from the University of New Mexico in 2019. He was then a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Bergen, Norway, before beginning his position at The University of Manchester in 2022.
Josh's work focuses on testing theory and predicting ecological phenomena at the intersection of local, regional, and global scales. His work revolves around three fundamental questions: 1) what causes species to be limited in their geographic distribution? 2) how does the physical environment shape species interactions? And 3) does individual physiology scale up to predict phenomena at higher levels of biological organization? He addresses these fundamental questions by combining observational, experimental, and theoretical tools to further our understanding of the patterns and processes that shape species distributions, community composition, and population dynamics. Above all, his work focuses on creating a more predictive ecology, which is necessary to prepare for the consequences of climate change and other global changes.
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
