Anitha Mary Davidson, Ph.D
Dr. Anitha Mary Davidson is currently working as a Project Scientist at the Biodiversity Division of the ECOR Foundation. She holds a Ph.D. from the Institute of Marine Biology, National Taiwan Ocean University, where her research focused on the impact of hydrothermal vent waters on mesozooplankton in the Kueishan Island region. Her work explored spatiotemporal variations in copepod mortality and community structure across monsoonal periods, along with the resilience of copepods to acidic vent waters. At ECOR Foundation, Dr. Davidson continues to apply her expertise to biodiversity conservation, with a focus on marine ecosystems and environmental change.
