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.

Rebecca B. Orr (Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules, Interactive Visual Activities, eText Media Integration) is Professor of Biology at Collin College in Plano, Texas, where she teaches introductory biology. She earned her B.S. from Texas A&M University and her Ph.D. from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Rebecca has a passion for investigating strategies that result in more effective learning and retention, and she is a certified Team-Based Learning Collaborative Trainer Consultant. She enjoys focusing on the creation of learning opportunities that both engage and challenge students.

Fiona Rawle 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 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 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 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.
