Aniko Toth

Dr Aniko Toth is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Ecosystem Science, The University of New South Wales, within the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. She holds a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and has conducted extensive research on ecological interactions, community dynamics, and the impacts of environmental change on biodiversity. Her work includes studies on Neotropical ecosystems, Kenyan mammal communities, and the role of functional traits in ecological fidelity. Dr Toth has contributed to numerous publications and has been recognized for her scientific achievements, including awards for best papers from the US National Museum of Natural History. She is also a member of several working groups focused on ecosystem risk assessments and trait data standardization.

Anikó B. Tóth is a researcher specializing in macroecology, paleontology, and community ecology. Her work explores how human impacts and climate change have influenced the assembly and dynamics of plant and animal communities over time. She investigates biotic interactions, dispersal limitations, and ecological fidelity of functional traits in both modern and fossil records. Her research includes the analysis of interspecific spatial associations, the reorganization of mammal communities after the end-Pleistocene extinction, and the assessment of ecosystem collapse risks. Tóth also contributes to the development of frameworks for evaluating climate and biotic influences on ecological patterns, using data from fossil pollen, mammalian bone assemblages, and protected area records.
