Ronald Keith O'Dor was born on September 20, 1944, in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. He is the son of Claude Marvin and Opal LaMoyne (Sears) Mathes.
O'Dor graduated from El Camino College with an associate degree in 1966. He then graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with bachelor's degree in 1967 and received his doctorate from the University of British Columbia in 1971.
O'Dor started his career as a postdoctoral fellow in zoology at Cambridge University in 1971. In 1973, he went to Dalhousie University, where he first began as an assistant professor, then became an associate professor, and in 1983, as a professor of biology, the position he still holds. O'Dor was also a director of Aquatron Laboratory from 1986 to 1993 and a summer scientist at Laboratoire Arago from 1979 to 1985.
Ronald O'Dor is best known as an expert in the field of cephalopods and marine biology. Ronald O'Dor's research team developed radio-acoustic positioning telemetry (RAPT) to continuously record animal movements under the sea. O'Dor's team also helps other scientists use RAPT to study a wide range of invertebrates, fish and even Navy divers. RAPT is a valuable conservation tool, revealing how animals use marine reserves which help to design them. By tracking divers carrying video cameras, RAPT helps reconstruct pictorial maps of the habitats animals use. Comparing these maps from year to year also illustrates how environmental changes affect habitats.
Ronald O'Dor is the author of such works as Recent Advances in Cephalopod Fishery Biology of 1993, The Physiology of Cephalopod Molluscs: Lifestyle and Performance Adaptations of 1994 and Advances in Squid Biology, Ecology and Fisheries: Myopsid Squids (Fish, Fishing and Fisheries: Marine Biology) in two parts of 2013.
