معرفی
Jennifer Hollander is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she has taught anatomy and physiology courses since 2007. She also leads the Advanced Human Dissection Team and teaches diverse courses ranging from freshman to graduate levels.
- Ph.D., Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology (University of Nevada, Reno, 2007)
- M.S., Biology (University of Nevada, Reno, 2002)
- B.S., Human Biology (University of Utah, 1996)
Her research focuses on plant-animal interactions, particularly the evolution of seed traits in Ephedra and rodent-mediated dispersal, with a geographic emphasis on North America. She has contributed to understanding olfactory detection mechanisms in granivorous rodents and adaptations for seed dispersal.
Hollander’s publications reveal consistent themes in evolutionary ecology, seed dispersal syndromes, and granivore behavior. Her work bridges ecological theory with empirical studies on seed-predator dynamics in arid ecosystems.
- Nevada Regents' Teaching Award (2019)
- Paul and Judy Bible Teaching Excellence Award (2021)
She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including Biology 223A, 224A, 423/424 (Human Anatomy Dissection Team), and 446/646 (Desert and Montane Ecosystems), emphasizing classroom engagement and enthusiasm for human physiology and ecology.
