James Russell (ecologist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Charles Russell is a New Zealand conservation biologist and professor at the University of Auckland.

Russell is most widely known for his research on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New Zealand. One of the rats he studied swam over 400 metres between two Hauraki Gulf islands, breaking the swimming distance record for rats. The intentions of the rat are believed to have been amorous. The rat, known as Razza, was featured in Nature,[1] and later in a children's book by Witi Ihimaera.[2] Russell gained a PhD on the genetics and invasion ecology of rats, from the University of Auckland.[3]

He writes a blog for National Geographic on island conservation.[4]
