Michael Dawson

Professor
Life and Environmental Sciences
Mike is an evolutionary ecologist applying genomic tools to understand the origins, maintenance, and loss of biodiversity. His lab explores a wide diversity of taxa (crustaceans, fishes, jellyfishes, molluscs, sea stars, and more) in a variety of places (Indonesia, Palau, Thailand, West Coast of the USA). We are developing approaches to genomic conservation. We are intrigued by exploring biogeographic similarities and differences among marine and non-marine systems. We are committed to greater accessibility to rigorous scientific publishing.
