Why Is Thomas W. Schoener Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Thomas William Schoener is an American ecologist and professor at University of California, Davis. In 1969, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard University, where he was a Junior Fellow. He served on the faculty at the University of Washington before moving to Davis. He is an expert in community ecology and in evolutionary ecology, including experimental manipulation of island vertebrate and spider communities. Dr. Schoener's research has been both theoretical and empirical.
