Manuel C Molles Jr. is a retired Professor of Biology at the University of New Mexico, where he has been a faculty member and curator in the Museum of Southwestern Biology since 1975. He earned his BS from Humboldt State University and his PhD from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. Seeking to widen his geographic outlook, he has lectured and conducted ecological research in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. He was granted a Fulbright Research Fellowship to carry out studies on river ecology in Portugal and has served as a visiting professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in the Laboratory of Hydrology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, and at the University of Montana’s Flathead Lake Biological Station.
Initially trained as a marine ecologist and fisheries biologist, the author primarily worked on river and riparian ecology at the University of New Mexico. His research has encompassed a broad range of ecological levels, including behavioral ecology, population biology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, stream insect biogeography, and the impact of a large-scale climate system (El Niño) on the dynamics of Southwestern river and riparian ecosystems. His current research pursuits focus on the effects of climate change and climatic variability on population and community dynamics along steep temperature and moisture gradients in the mountainous regions of the Southwest. Throughout his professional journey, Dr. Molles has endeavored to integrate research, teaching, and public service, involving both undergraduate and graduate students in his ongoing projects. At the University of New Mexico, he instructed a diverse array of lower-division, upper-division, and graduate courses, including Principles of Biology, Evolution and Ecology, Stream Ecology, Limnology and Oceanography, Marine Biology, and Community and Ecosystem Ecology. He has also taught courses in Global Change and River Ecology at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and Basic Ecology and Groundwater and Riparian Ecology at the Flathead Lake Biological Station. Dr. Manuel Molles was honored as Teacher of the Year by the University of New Mexico for 1995–1996 and appointed as Potter Chair in Plant Ecology in 2000. In 2014, he was awarded the Eugene P. Odum Award from the Ecological Society of America based on his “aptitude in relating fundamental ecological principles to human affairs through teaching, outreach, and mentorship activities.”
