Mark Westoby is an Australian evolutionary ecologist, born on September 21, 1947. He is an emeritus professor at Macquarie University, recognized for his work in trait ecology. His research focuses on ecological strategy schemes that categorize plant species based on measurable traits, exploring important trade-offs that influence plant diversification. He has led efforts to compile trait data globally and is currently studying ecological strategies in bacteria and archaea. Westoby introduced a state-and-transition approach for ecosystem management and developed methods for diet optimization and interpretations of plant genetics.
