Amanda Bates

Amanda Bates, a leading expert in global species redistribution and community change, focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to species and community resilience under environmental variability. Her research connects physiological thresholds of organisms to their environment to analyze changes in animal behavior, species interactions, and distribution patterns. Bates utilizes a diverse range of methodologies, including standardized experimental protocols, laboratory and field techniques, meta-analytic approaches, and modern statistical tools. She holds a PhD in Biology from the University of Victoria and currently serves as an Associate Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, having previously worked as a Lecturer in Marine Biology at the University of Southampton, a Marine Ecologist at the University of Tasmania, and a Research Academic at Deakin University.
