Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Mataya Duncan's research focuses on the application of statistical methods to phylogenetic analysis, particularly in addressing challenges related to phylogenetic regression. Their work investigates methods to improve the robustness of phylogenetic decisions, aiming to overcome limitations encountered with large datasets or complex evolutionary histories. Duncan has developed and implemented computational tools, such as TraitTrainR, to facilitate large-scale simulations under models of continuous trait evolution. This work contributes to understanding evolutionary processes, including convergent evolution and functional divergence, as demonstrated in their studies of glycoside hydrolase family genes in beetles. Duncan collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Richard H. Adams, Jenniffer Roa Lozano, and Jack E. Green, on these and related projects.
