Ecologist and Conservation Scientist
About George McGregor
In 2017, George McGregor led the first long-term acoustic monitoring network across the Congo Basin’s primary rainforest, deploying over 300 autonomous recorders to track avian and amphibian phenology shifts amid rising temperatures. His team’s 2021 paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution revealed that frog call timing had advanced by 11.3 days per decade, earlier than predicted by climate models, triggering cascading mismatches with insect emergence. He doesn’t speak in abstractions about ‘biodiversity loss’; he maps it in decibel decay, soil pH gradients, and seed-dispersal lag times. His field notebooks contain hand-drawn mycorrhizal networks alongside satellite thermal overlays, and he insists on calibrating every sensor himself before deployment. When advising policy bodies, he refuses to separate ecological thresholds from Indigenous land-use calendars, his conservation framework treats temporal precision and cultural continuity as co-dependent variables. His work reshaped how the IUCN assesses climate vulnerability for tropical amphibians, embedding acoustic phenology into formal red-list criteria.
