Otto Huber (ecologist)
Otto Huber (born 1944 in Bischofswiesen, Bavaria, Germany) is an Italian ecologist known for his work on the botany, phytogeography and conservation of the neotropics.[1][2] His academic focus has primarily been on the non-forested biomes of the Venezuelan Guayana. Beginning in the 1970s, he led many pioneering expeditions to the inaccessible tepuis (table mountains) of the region. Huber has authored over 120 publications,[1] including most of the first volume of Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana.[3] As a plant collector, Huber was most active around the period 1974–1999.[1] His herbarium collections number more than 13,500 specimens, each with three to four duplicates on average.[1] Huber worked closely with Julian A. Steyermark, one of his early mentors.[1][3]
