Mason Fidino is a senior quantitative ecologist that works in the Conservation & Science
department at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois. Mason’s research, for the most part, is in
biodiversity informatics. He integrates large and complex data sources, develops new
quantitative techniques and software, and uses high-performance computing to determine how
biodiversity responds to environmental change across multiple spatiotemporal scales. Mason is
especially interested in understanding ecological principles in urban environments and,
through their research, looks for ways to leverage the vast data sources that exist in cities to
answer pressing social-ecological issues.
