معرفی
Dr. Daphne Soares is an Associate Professor in Biological Sciences at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Her research focuses on evolutionary adaptations in cave-dwelling organisms, particularly sensory systems and behavior in species like cavefish and salamanders. She has led multiple federally funded projects, including investigations into cavefish sensory evolution and ocular regeneration mechanisms.
- Grants: Includes NIH-funded studies on blind fish eye regeneration and NSF projects on cavefish biodiversity in China and crocodilian sensory systems.
- Research Interests: Evolution of sensory systems, troglomorphic traits, ecological adaptations, and neuroethology of cave species.
Her work combines experimental biology with comparative approaches, exploring how organisms adapt to extreme environments. Collaborations span ecology, genetics, and morphological analysis, with publications in journals like Journal of Comparative Neurology and Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
