Mike Logan

Mike Logan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research focuses on understanding how organisms adapt to rapid environmental changes, integrating behavioral, physiological, and genetic mechanisms. He primarily works with Anolis lizards in the Neotropics, using field experiments and genomic studies to address questions in evolutionary biology and conservation.

• Academic Affiliation: University of Nevada, Reno
• Research Focus: Adaptation to environmental changes
• Key Systems: Anolis lizards, insects, snakes

His research spans evolutionary responses to climate oscillations, thermal physiology, and behavioral syndromes under predation pressure. Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining ecology, genetics, and physiology.

Selected publications (2013–2019) reveal a focus on thermal adaptation, gene flow dynamics, and behavioral rescue strategies under climate change. Subfields include tropical biology, phenotypic plasticity, and experimental evolution.
