Jeff Harvey (born 1957 in Toronto, Canada) is a Senior Scientist in the Department of Multitrophic Interactions at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, and formerly an associate editor of Nature.
Harvey specializes in research concerning:
- Intra-interspecific variation in plant quality and its effects on herbivores, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids; linking above- and below ground multitrophic interactions via plant defense.
- Life-history, foraging and developmental strategies in hyperparasitoids.
- Spatial and temporal effects on multitrophic interactions.
- Science, ecology and advocacy.
Harvey criticised Bjørn Lomborg and Lomborg's book The Skeptical environmentalist, and was one of those who took Lomborg to the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty.
