Comment of Cooper paper on soils

Other relevant Contributions to research: Molecular Biology and Evolution 05 Together with Dr Craig Millar from the Allan Wilson Centre, I organised the Molecular Biology and Evolution 05 Conference. This was a joint meeting between the Australasian Genetics Society and the Molecular Biology and Evolution Society. Members of the latter largely come from the US and Asia. The meeting was held from June 19-23, 2005 at The Edge in downtown Auckland. The Aotea Centre was the venue for the talks and posters, as well as the conference dinner. Dr Millar and I appreciated assistance from Lisa Matisoo-Smith, Richard Newcomb, Mike Hendy and Lesley Collins. The Conference Secretary, Monique van Rensburg, worked to correspond with many of the delegates regarding their talks and posters and general issues regarding attendance. Susan Wright, Joy Wood and Karen Sinclair from the AWC organised travel and accommodation for invited speakers, together with all registrations. The conference began with a half day free Public Lecture Series. We advertised this event in a large number of local newspapers and we contacted secondary schools. Approximately 800 people attended. The three speakers are internationally recognized researchers and public speakers. Prof Dr. Axel Meyer from the University of Konstanz spoke on the importance of chance and necessity in evolution. Professor Meyer holds the chair for Zoology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Konstanz in Germany. He studied biology, chemistry and physics at the Universities of Marburg and Kiel in Germany and moved 1982 to the USA

where he studied biology at the University of Miami, the University of California at Berkeley (Ph.D. 1988 in Zoology) and Harvard University. From 1988 to 1990 he held a Sloan-Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship with professor Allan C. Wilson at the Biochemistry Department in Berkeley. From 1990 to 1997 he was a professor at the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the State University of New York before he returned to Germany for his present post. Our second speaker was Prof Jim Watson from Genesis Research & Development Corporation Limited here in New Zealand. He was Chief Executive at Genesis until December 2004 when he moved to the position of Chief Scientist. He has held Professorships at the University of California, Irvine (1976-81) and the University of Auckland (1981-93) serving as Head of the Department of Molecular Medicine (1983–93). He presented a talk on The Evolution of Sustainability. Our final public speaker, Professor Jenny Graves works on Australian mammals. Her studies provide a unique view on the way that the human genome evolved and provides a model for how we can test the influence of genes on characteristics. One of her group’s big successes has been her research on sex and sex chromosomes. She spoke on sex chromosomes and the future of men, providing an entertaining presentation. In total 486 registrants attended the meeting. Over the three and a half days, there were 288 oral presentations and 101 posters were presented. Approximately 28% of registrants were from New Zealand, 26% were from Australia and the bulk of the remaining delegated came from the US. Overall 36% of those attending the meeting were students. All the feedback from delegates was very positive and we are confident the event was a constructive one for New Zealand science generally. The Royal Society of New Zealand provided $15,000 financial support for the meeting. The total budget for the meeting was approximately $257,000. Evolution 2007 I am currently organising the above international meeting from June 16

th to 21

st, 2007 in

Christchurch. This will be joint meeting with the Society for the Study of Evolution, the Society of Systematic Biology and the American Society of Naturalists. This is the first time that this important annual meeting has been held outside of the United States. Hence, it represents a major opportunity for New Zealand researchers to make a major international contribution in this area. We expect to have approximately 1200 delegates to the meeting. A number of very significant international speakers will attend and we hope that the Prime Minister will open the meeting. Other relevant Information: I have a range of research, scientific and administrative experience that has provided me with important and relevant experience. These include:

! Head of Institute of Molecular BioSciences, Massey University, Albany.

I am responsible for teaching and research activities in IMBS at Albany. My responsibilities include the Molecular Biosciences undergraduate major, coordination of the largest first year paper in biology at the Albany campus, namely 162.101 Biology of Cells. My responsibilities also include a series of 200 and soon, 300 level papers for the Molecular Biosciences major. Staff in the institute include two academic staff, an administrator / personal assistant and a teaching and research technician.

! Associate Editor of the international journal Conservation Genetics.

Conservation Genetics is the leading international journal in this area. I was invited to accept this task by Dr Russ Hoelzel, the chief editor. I act as associate editor in that I invite reviews from appropriate people, coordinate the review process and make final decisions on manuscripts. Finally, I communicate the decisions to Dr Hoelzel who passes manuscripts to the printers.

! Head of the Department of Ecology, Massey University.

As Head of the Ecology Department I had line management responsibility for 24 staff comprising 14 academic and 10 support staff. I have financial responsibility for the salary and non-salary operating budgets of the department. The university also gave me responsibility for the Ecology and Zoology undergraduate majors, as well as the minor in Environmental Science. During my tenure as head, the university initiated a large-scale building programme for Ecology. This programme is still ongoing and will take an additional two years to complete. For some years I remained directly involved with this initiative. In 1997, Massey University was restructured, and the department was disestablished together with the creation of a number of larger institutes. My research group has since joined the Institute of Molecular BioSciences.

! Leader of the Ecology and Evolution Research Group in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Auckland.

My duties involved leadership in the promotion of research activities and the provision of resources for the Research Group. My brief was to coordinate and encourage staff in developing joint bids for research grant support and for core equipment. In effect I acted as a catalyst to achieve improvement in research grant earnings. In my capacity as research group leader I also received enquires from potential graduate students, Ad Eundem Admission applications to the university and I liaised with the School of Biological Sciences Graduate Studies Committee on the selection of the new intake of graduate students. I arranged research seminars for the group, oversaw, in consolation with the staff concerned and the director, the allocation of space and ensured that equipment and research facilities within the group were put to effective use. In addition, I made recommendations to the School of Biological Sciences regarding laboratory and field safety, and prepared summary reports for the School’s annual report to University Council. As research group leader, I served ex officio as a member of the School of Biological Sciences’ Advisory Committee and, in consultation with the director, I had responsibility for technical staff, advised the School in relation to duties, promotions, appointments and staff development.

! Director of the Centre for Conservation Biology at the University of Auckland.

The Centre for Conservation Biology (CCB) reports directly to the Head of the Universities Research Committee and is a university-wide research grouping. The objectives of the centre are to provide a sound basis for conservation management through field and theoretical research. The CCB provides consultancy services for managers and advises and comments on conservation matters to a wide audience. As director my role was to coordinate the activities of the centre, to help to establish wider liaisons with other groups, both within New Zealand and internationally. An important priority for me was to stimulate the participation of graduate students in the activities of the centre and to encourage a wider spectrum of university staff to become involved in collaborative research.

! Editor of Journal issue on New Zealand conservation.

I edited a volume on New Zealand Conservation which was published as a special issue of the new journal PACIFIC CONSERVATION BIOLOGY. The volume contains 12 papers from leading researchers in this area and the topics cover a broad array of contemporary conservation issues in New Zealand. This volume summarises much of the recent research in this important area.

! Editor of a major book on speciation - D.M. LAMBERT AND H.G. SPENCER. eds. (1995). Speciation and the Recognition Concept: Theory and Application. Johns Hopkins University Press.

Much of the contemporary species debate in evolutionary biology centres around the ideas and approaches known as the Recognition Concept. Together with Dr Hamish Spencer at Otago University, I edited this book published by Johns Hopkins University Press. It represents a major contribution to this subject. The volume contains 20 papers with contributions from such eminent biologists as Prof Niles Eldredge from the American
