معرفی
Chris Angell is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology at Earlham College, specializing in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology. His research focuses on insect ecology, developmental biology, and evolutionary processes, particularly in Diptera (flies). Located in Stanley Hall, Richmond, Indiana, he can be reached at csangell11@earlham.edu.
Education:
- Ph.D., University of Ottawa
- B.A., Earlham College
Research Interests:
Dr. Angell’s work integrates taxonomy, ecological field studies, and molecular techniques to explore insect life cycles, senescence, and adaptation. His studies on antler flies (Protopiophila litigata) examine parental effects, larval development, and chemical communication. He also contributes to forensic entomology through morphological analyses of fly puparia. His broader interests span evolutionary ecology, invasive species dynamics, and the interplay between genetic and environmental factors in organismal traits.
Recent Research Trends:
Recent articles highlight his focus on taxonomic revisions (e.g., Scathophagidae, Heleomyzidae), developmental plasticity in antler flies, and applications of morphometrics in forensic science. He explores how ecological pressures shape life-history strategies and aging processes in insects.
