James C. Cavender is professor emeritus at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, USA. He studies the taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, and geographical distribution of dictyostelid cellular slime molds.[1]
Early life and education edit
Cavender studied biology at Union College and conducted his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with mycologist Kenneth Raper.[2] He taught at Wabash College for five years before joining the faculty of the Plant Biology department at Ohio University in 1970.
Career and research edit
Cavender has led research on the global discovery of dictyostelids, also called cellular slime molds or social amoebae. His development of a quantitative method for dictyostelid isolation from soil samples, published in 1965,[3] made possible ecological studies based on frequency and density of occurrence. Cavender has led and collaborated on expeditions in North America,[4][5] South America,[6] Europe,[7] Africa[8][9], Madagascar[10] and Asia[11][12][13][14] to discover new species of slime molds and understand their distributions, ecology and evolution. These efforts contributed to the discovery of more than half of the known species of the Dictyosteliida, including the species within the genus, Cavenderia and the family, Cavenderiaceae.[15] At Ohio University, he taught a range of courses including mycology, introductory botany, tropical botany, medicinal plants, alternative agriculture, soils, and advanced courses in dictyostelids from 1970 until his retirement in 2004.[citation needed]
