Dan Rabosky

Dan Rabosky is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan and serves as Curator at the Museum of Zoology. His research integrates fieldwork, molecular phylogenetics, and computational modeling to explore macroevolutionary patterns.

• Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell (2009)
• Miller Postdoctoral Fellow, UC Berkeley (2009-2012)

Key research areas include:

• Macroevolution and speciation in Australian reptiles
• Phylogenetic comparative methods and biodiversity theory
• Feedback between ecological processes and diversification

Recent work highlights the decoupling of ecological dynamics (e.g., metapopulation persistence) and macroevolutionary speciation rates, alongside studies on sexual selection's evolutionary lability.

Scientific Awards

• Miller Postdoctoral Fellow

He advises graduate students like Matheus Januário and leads the Rabosky Lab, contributing to open-access biodiversity initiatives such as the oVert project.
