Biography
Mark Alan McPeek is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist. He uses both empirical and theoretical approaches to understand the ecological processes that determine the distributions and abundances of organisms today and that shaped the adaptation and diversification of these organisms in the past. He tries to integrate ideas, data, and approaches from various disciplines, including population and community ecology, population genetics, molecular systematics, comparative biology, macroevolution, and paleontology.
Research Interest
Evolutionary biology, community ecology, sexual selection, phylogenetic studies, adaptation, population biology
