John C. Avise
نویسنده
چکیده
John Avise was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He earned a BS in fishery biology from the University of Michigan, an MA in zoology from the University of Texas, and a PhD in genetics from the University of California at Davis, before joining the faculty at the University of Georgia where he stayed for 30 years. In 2005, he took his current position: Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of California, Irvine. His research touches many areas of ecology and evolution, typically using molecular markers to address topics such as genetic mating systems, phylogeography, speciation, introgression, and phylogeny. He has worked on many vertebrate species (mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes) and some invertebrates. He has received national and international awards for career contributions to molecular ecology and evolution, genetics, conservation biology, biogeography, and ornithology. He is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and has served as President of the Society for the Study of Evolution, the American Genetic Association, and the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution. He has published more than 300 scientific articles, plus 16 books (12 of which were solo-authored) on subjects ranging from natural history and evolution to genetic engineering, scientific humor, and the science–religion interface, and also the autobiography Captivating Life: A Naturalist in the Age of Genetics (2001).

Levels of genetic variation were measured in cave and surface populations of the fish Astyanax mexicanus. The project was designed to test prevailing hypotheses relating genetic variation to environmental heterogeneity. Cave populations did exhibit drastically reduced genetic variability, but several considerations argue that the effect was primarily attributable to genetic drift. [The SCI indi...
