Seth Bybee

Seth Bybee is a Professor in the Department of Biology within the College of Life Sciences at Brigham Young University. His research focuses on phylogenetics, Odonata (dragonfly) evolution, and visual system evolution. He teaches courses in General Biology, Entomology, and Evolution.

Education:

• Research Fellow in Phylogenetic Systematics at Université de Montpellier, Institute des Science de l’Evolution (2020)
• Postdoctoral Researcher in Phylogenomics and Vision transcriptomes at Brigham Young University (2012)
• Postdoctoral Researcher in Behavioral Ecology and Insect Vision at University of California-Irvine (2009)
• PhD in Phylogenetic Systematics (Dragonfly Evolution) from University of Florida (2008)
• B.S. in Conservation Biology from Brigham Young University (2004)

Research Interests: Professor Bybee's research spans evolutionary biology and entomology, with a focus on the phylogenetics of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) and the evolution of visual systems. His work integrates molecular, morphological, and behavioral data to understand the evolutionary history and adaptations of insects, especially in visual ecology.
