Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael E. Douglas's research focuses on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of biotic homogenization, exploring how species distributions and genetic variation are shaped by environmental changes. His work has investigated the phylogeography of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus L.) using mitochondrial DNA sequences and has examined the relationship between morphology and ecology within freshwater stream fish assemblages. Douglas also studies contemporary migration patterns using computational methods, such as the BA3‐SNPs model for next-generation sequence data.
His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 36, with over 5,900 citations across more than 200 publications. Douglas has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Tyler K. Chafin, with whom he shares 20 publications, and Bradley T. Martin, with whom he shares 6 publications. He maintains an active lab website and is designated as a highly cited researcher.
