American and Australasian Marsupials

Nilton Caceres has more than 20 years of research experience and is currently a Full Professor at the Santa Maria Federal University in Brazil. In 2012-2013 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Pasquale Raia Lab in Naples, Italy. He has since established international collaborations with respected international researchers, such Dr. Carlo Meloro (England), Dr. Andres Baselga (Spain), Francois Catzeflis (France), and Gregory Wilson (USA). His field of research ranges from population ecology to evolutionary biology, focusing mainly on New World mammals, particularly marsupials. Christopher R. Dickman's work focuses mostly on the ecology of mammals and on a range of projects in applied conservation and management. Chris is a Professor in Ecology (personal chair) at The University of Sydney and a Fellow of both the Australian Academy of Science and the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales. He has written more than 500 journal articles and book chapters, as well as several monographs on marsupials including the award-winning A Fragile Balance: The Extraordinary Story of Australian Marsupials and Secret Lives of Carnivorous Marsupials (with Andrew Baker); he is also co-editor of Marsupials and Predators with Pouches: The Biology of Carnivorous Marsupials. He is the recipient of several national and international awards, including the Troughton Medal from the Australian Mammal Society and the C. Hart Merriam award from the American Society of Mammalogists.
