OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael E. Douglas's research program centers on the application of genomic and phylogenomic methods to understand species delimitation, hybridization, and the evolutionary history of aquatic and terrestrial organisms. His work frequently involves the analysis of genetic variation, including mitochondrial DNA, to investigate population genetics and taxonomic uncertainty, particularly within North American river systems and among various animal taxa.
Douglas has published extensively on the development and application of computational tools for genomic analysis, such as the R package ClineHelpR for outlier detection. His recent publications explore the integration of Indigenous knowledge with technical data for adaptive decision-making, the use of machine learning in species delimitation for North American box turtles, and the impact of physical exercise on human brain health. He also investigates the evolutionary drivers of aquatic biodiversity across Asia, using snowtrout as a case study.
His scholarly output includes 201 publications and has been cited over 5,900 times, with an h-index of 36. Douglas collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Marlis R. Douglas and Tyler K. Chafin.
