Charles Fox

Charles Fox is a Professor at the University of Kentucky's Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. He teaches ABT 461G: Introduction to Population Genetics and serves as a Career and Professional Mentor and Research Mentor. His research focuses on evolutionary biology, entomology, and ecological dynamics, particularly in seed beetles and yellow dung flies.

• Ph.D., Department of Integrated Biology, University of California, Berkeley (1993)
• B.S., Department of Zoology (1987)

His work explores peer review processes, inbreeding depression, host shifts, and phenotypic plasticity in insects. Recent publications emphasize open research practices, gender equity in publishing, and spatial sorting of traits in ecological contexts.

Professor Fox leads the Fox Lab, which investigates evolutionary genetics and insect adaptation. His articles reveal trends in reproductive biology, genetic architecture, and environmental interactions affecting insect populations.
