Early life and education edit

Simberloff received his Bachelor of Arts from Harvard College in 1964, and his Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University in 1969.[1] He wanted to go to graduate school for mathematics, but changed his mind after taking a major biology course from future Nobel Prize winner, George Wald.[3]

Career edit

Simberloff was a faculty member at Florida State University from 1968-1997 before relocating to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is currently a distinguished professor there in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. His more recent work focuses on the presence of invasive species, and raises the “specter of ‘invasional meltdown'”. At present, Simberloff has a long-term project in Patagonia on the invasion of conifer trees, involving introduced deer, boar, and fungi. Simberloff has a total of over 350 publications, and he is currently working on several papers on invasive biology.[citation needed]

Academic Work edit

Simberloff's doctoral dissertation tested the theory of island biogeography proposed by Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson,[4] resulting in a paper[5] that won the Ecological Society of America's Mercer Award in 1971[6] and was included as one of forty classic papers that represented the foundations of ecology.[7] He began to be concerned that most mathematical models "more or less fit some data but had no reason to be the preferred explanation."[8] He showed that a random draw could explain some patterns having to do with island biota.[9] Meanwhile, a number of biologists, such as Jared Diamond, began calling for island biogeography theory to be applied in conservation.[10] This became a controversy in ecology known as the SLOSS debate. In his 1976 Science paper, Simberloff contradicted his own theory, claiming that most of the insect turnover in the assemblages studied was ephemeral and did not, therefore, confirm island biogeography theory in general. In fact, two smaller areas could mathematically support more species than a single area of the same size, and he had experimental data from his mangrove studies to support it.[11] A leading proponent of the theory now writes that “the species-area curve is a blunt tool in many contexts” and “now seems simplistic to the point of being cartoonish” when it comes to management of nature preserves.[12]

Simberloff then took on the MacArthurian paradigm of competitively structured communities, championing the use of null models in community ecology.[13] Debate on the subject in the ecological literature became so heated that it inspired the name of "Tallahassee mafia" for Simberloff and his associates at Florida State University.[14] Its high points were a set of papers in a philosophical journal,[15] an entire issue of The American Naturalist,[16] and a published symposium at Wakulla Springs, Florida,[17] that changed the face of the field.[citation needed] Simberloff caused ecologists to ask “what would happen if one mechanism were removed?” He preached, “rely on the data to tell you how nature operates; don’t simply find the patterns that you’re supposed to find.” The Ecological Society of America conferred on him its 2006 Eminent Ecologist Award for his "outstanding body of ecological work" and "contributions of extraordinary merit," citing him in particular for having been "the quintessential ecological iconoclast."[18]

Other professional work edit

Simberloff was instrumental in the promulgation of presidential Executive Order 13112 on invasive species, and also serves on the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group and the IUCN Species Survival Commission. He has served on the Board of Governors of the Nature Conservancy, the federal Invasive Species Advisory Committee, and the editorial boards of Biodiversity and Conservation, Oecologia, Biological Invasions, BioScience and Ecology.
