Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Eric R. Hagen's research investigates the evolutionary biology of flowering plants, with a particular focus on the role of polyploidy in plant adaptation and diversification. His work explores how life-history strategies evolve in response to climatic variability, examining long-term responses and the influence of historical drivers on plant biogeography. Hagen also studies the relationship between polyploidy and pathogen resistance, conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses to synthesize existing research. He has published on topics including the evolutionary responses of life-history strategies to climate, the implications of polyploidy and speciation models, and the historical causes behind latitudinal gradients in polyploid plant distribution. His scholarship includes contributions to debates regarding the use of fossil records in evolutionary studies. Hagen has 5 shared publications with collaborator Jeremy M. Beaulieu at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
