Judith Elaine Hewitt is a Finnish-New Zealand[citation needed] bio-statistician and soft-sediment benthic ecologist. She currently works at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research,[1] and have with an association with the University of Auckland.[2]
Academic career
[edit]After a 2003 PhD at the Swedish-language Åbo Akademi University titled 'Using multi-scale spatial and temporal information to explain soft-sediment macrofaunal heterogeneity,' Hewitt joined staff at National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, rising to principal scientist.
In 2016 Hewitt was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.[3] Also in 2016 Hewitt was awarded the New Zealand Marine Sciences Society Award in recognition of her "significant contribution to the understanding of the role of scale in ecology and using advanced statistics to address challenging ecological questions".[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
