Campbell BIOLOGY is the best-selling introductory biology text in Canada. The text is written for university biology majors and is unparalleled in its accuracy, depth of explanation, and art program, as well as its overall effectiveness as a teaching and learning tool.
The third Canadian edition maintains the integrity of the Campbell franchise and will benefit students by highlighting Canadian contributions to biological science research. It does so by presenting Canadian examples of flora and fauna alongside global example investigating Canadian-specific biological issues, such as specific invasive species and providing Canadian data on biological issues.
Lisa A. Urry is Professor of Biology and Chair of the Biology Department at Mills College in Oakland, California, and a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. After graduating from Tufts University with a double major in biology and French, Lisa completed her Ph.D. in molecular and developmental biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the MIT/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program. She has published a number of research papers, most of them focused on gene expression during embryonic and larval development in sea urchins. Lisa has taught a variety of courses, from introductory biology to developmental biology and senior seminar. As a part of her mission to increase understanding of evolution, Lisa also teaches a nonmajors course called Evolution for Future Presidents and is on the Teacher Advisory Board for the Understanding Evolution website developed by the University of California Museum of Paleontology. Lisa is also deeply committed to promoting opportunities in science for women and underrepresented minorities. Lisa is also a co-author of Campbell Biology in Focus.
Michael L. Cain is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist who is now writing full-time. Michael earned a joint degree in biology and math at Bowdoin College, an M.Sc. from Brown University, and a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology from Cornell University. As a faculty member at New Mexico State University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, he taught a wide range of courses, including introductory biology, ecology, evolution, botany, and conservation biology. Michael is the author of dozens of scientific papers on topics that include foraging behaviour in insects and plants, long-distance seed dispersal, and speciation in crickets. In addition to his work on Campbell BIOLOGY and Campbell Biology in Focus, Michael is the lead author of an ecology textbook.
Steven A. Wasserman is Professor of Biology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He earned his A.B. in biology from Harvard University and his Ph.D. in biological sciences from MIT. through his research on regulatory pathway mechanisms in the fruit fly Drosophila, Steve has contributed to the fields of developmental biology, reproduction, and immunity. As a faculty member at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and UCSD, he has taught genetics, development, and physiology to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. He currently focuses on teaching introductory biology. He has also served as the research mentor for more than a dozen doctoral students and more than 50 aspiring scientists at the undergraduate and high school levels. Steve has been the recipient of distinguished scholar awards from both the Markey Charitable Trust and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. In 2007, he received UCSD's Distinguished Teaching Award for undergraduate teaching. Steve is also a co-author of Campbell Biology in Focus.
Peter V. Minorsky is Professor of Biology at Mercy College in New York, where he teaches introductory biology, evolution, ecology, and botany. He received his A.B. in biology from Vassar College and his Ph.D. in plant physiology from Cornell University. He is also the science writer for the journal Plant Physiology. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Peter taught at Kenyon College, Union College, Western Connecticut State University, and Vassar College. His research interests concern how plants sense environmental change. Peter received the 2008 Award for Teaching Excellence at Mercy College. Peter is also a co-author of Campbell Biology in Focus.
Jane B. Reece was Neil Campbell's longtime collaborator, and she has participated in every edition of Campbell BIOLOGY. Earlier, Jane taught biology at Middlesex County College and Queensborough Community College. She holds an A.B. in biology from Harvard University, an M.S. in microbiology from Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. in bacteriology from the University of California, Berkeley. Jane's research as a doctoral student at UC Berkeley and postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University focused on genetic recombination in bacteria. Besides her work on Campbell BIOLOGY, she has been a co-author on Campbell Biology in Focus, Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections, Campbell Essential Biology, and The World of the Cell.
Neil A. Campbell (1946–2004) combined the investigative nature of a research scientist with the soul of an experienced and caring teacher. He earned his M.A. in zoology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his Ph.D. in plant biology from the University of California, Riverside, where he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2001. Neil published numerous research articles on desert and coastal plants and how the sensitive plant (Mimosa) and other legumes move their leaves. His 30 years of teaching in diverse environments included introductory biology courses at Cornell University, Pomona College, and San Bernardino Valley College, where he received the college's first Outstanding Professor Award in 1986. Neil was a visiting scholar in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California, Riverside.
Fiona Rawle (Units 1-3; editor Units 1-8) received her Ph.D. from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. She is a Professor, Teaching Stream, at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where she teaches Introduction to Evolution and Evolutionary Genetics, Introductory Genetics, and Molecular Basis of Disease. Fiona's teaching and pedagogical research interests focus on several areas: (1) learning from failure in science; (2) science misinformation and scientific literacy; (3) bias in STEAM; and (4) the development of active learning techniques that can be used in large class settings. Fiona was the recipient of a 3M National Teaching Fellowship in 2022, Canada's highest honour for teaching in higher education.
Dion Durnford (Units 4 and 5) is a professor at the University of New Brunswick, in Fredericton. He earned a B.Sc. in Biology from Dalhousie University and a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of British Columbia. His research has focused on the evolution of light-harvesting antenna systems and the role of these proteins in light harvesting and photo-protection in microalgae. His recent work is examining how microalgae age and their strategies for increasing longevity. Dion was the recipient of the 2002 Faculty of Science Excellence in Teaching award and the 2010 Allan P. Stewart Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Chris Moyes (Unit 7) is a comparative physiologist, focusing on the muscle biochemistry and energetics. He received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of British Columbia (1991) and is currently a Professor in the Department of Biology, Queen's University. He has published more than 100 research papers and contributed to four books. He is co-author of Principles of Animal Physiology, first published in 2006.
Kevin Scott (Units 6 and 8) is a senior instructor at the University of Manitoba where he teaches introductory biology for both biology majors and nonbiology majors; human physiology; and environmental physiology of animal laboratories. In the past, he has also taught courses in ecology for nonbiology majors, immunology, parasitology, and microbiology. He received a B.Sc. in Zoology and a Ph.D. joint between Zoology and Cellular, Molecular, and Microbial Biology at the University of Calgary. As an educator, Dr. Scott's career is centred on teaching and the classroom, where he shares his excitement for biology. His interest in plant biology has grown during his professional career and is a favourite topic in his classroom. Kevin was a co-author of Campbell Biology: Concepts and Connections, Canadian Edition.
