Matthew Smith is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University. His research focuses on phenotypic variation in natural populations, evolutionary history inference, and ecological adaptations. He leads studies on how organisms adapt to environmental changes, with a focus on reptiles and amphibians. His work integrates field surveys, physiological experiments, and morphological analyses, contributing to conservation and management strategies.

Research Interests:

• Patterns of phenotypic variation in natural populations
• Evolutionary history inference through phenotypic data
• Ecological adaptations in reptiles and amphibians
• Conservation biology and habitat management

Lab: Maintains an active research lab, though specific team details are not documented here.
