Dr. A. Peter Klimley has studied animal behavior for four decades. He has written over 170 scientific articles, many of which are on the behavior and ecology of sharks and rays. He is co-editor (with D.G. Ainley) of “Great White Sharks: The Biology of Carcharodon carcharias”, author of a popular book, “Secret Life of Sharks", and author of a reference volume, “The Biology of Sharks and Rays”. Much of his recent focus has been on delineating the migratory pathways of sharks in order to help in specifying the extent of the boundaries of marine reserves in the eastern Pacific. He has pioneered the development of many tracking technologies and founded the journal of Animal Biotelemetry. Dr. Klimley received a M. Sci. in oceanography from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Florida and a Ph.D. in marine biology from Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California, San Diego. He has just retired from a position as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology at the University of California, where he served as mentor of graduate students in Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Geography Graduate Groups.
