Deborah Charlesworth FRS FRSE (née Maltby; born 1943) is a population geneticist from the UK, notable for her important discoveries in population genetics and evolutionary biology. [3] [4] Her most notable research is in understanding the evolution of recombination, sex chromosomes and mating system for plants. [3]
[a] [1] In 2013 she received a research grant from the John Templeton Foundation to study how and where new genes arise. [4] She runs a theoretical group in the University of Arizona's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department where she investigates aspects of evolvability .
This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Evolutionary biologists. It includes evolutionary biologists that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent.
She is interested in how reliable mitochondrial DNA is in studies of human evolution and phylogenetics. [19] [20] In 2002 Hagelberg joined the University of Oslo. [21] [22] Hagelberg investigates how definitions of biological race are used by evolutionary biologists. [23] Her work has been covered in The Guardian, The New York Times. [24] [25]
St. Mary's research into the evolution of parental care has caused a shift in the conceptual understanding of the evolution of prenatal care (in fishes). The previous theory proposed by evolutionary biologists is parental care comes at a tradeoff - by engaging in parental care for current offspring, males are decreasing the time and energy ...
Jessica Lee Ware was born in 1977 in Montreal, Quebec, and has a twin brother, artist and activist Syrus Marcus Ware. [2] Ware has said that she became interested in biology because her grandparents, Gwen and Harold Irons, in northern Canada encouraged her to collect snakes, insects, and frogs. [10]
