Fredrik Inglis

Fredrik Inglis is a researcher at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, Department of Biology, specializing in evolutionary ecology and microbial population dynamics. His work addresses the persistence of cooperation and diversity in bacterial communities, particularly in well-mixed environments where exploitation risks are high.

• Primary Affiliation: Department of Biology, University of Missouri-St. Louis

His research spans evolutionary biology, focusing on mechanisms like kin selection, group selection, and social strategies such as spite and cheating in bacteria. Key themes include:

• Phase transitions in microbial populations
• Evolutionary trade-offs in stress responses
• Game-theoretic models (e.g., rock-paper-scissors dynamics)
• Antibiotic resistance evolution
• Biofilm mechanics and interfacial behavior

Recent work emphasizes population dynamics, social evolution, and environmental interactions. His publications demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches blending ecology, genetics, and biophysics.
