Luis De León Reyna is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Massachusetts Boston. His research integrates evolutionary ecology, population genetics, and tropical biodiversity studies.
- PhD in Evolutionary Biology, McGill University (2011)
- BSc in Biology, University of Panama (2002)
His work investigates eco-evolutionary dynamics in Neotropical environments, focusing on adaptive radiation mechanisms in Darwin's finches and freshwater fish. He also examines human impacts on evolutionary processes and uses DNA barcoding to assess cryptic biodiversity.
Recent publications highlight his studies on hurricane effects on lizard populations, salinity-driven microbiome changes in water striders, and genomic variation in adaptive radiations. His research spans ecological speciation, codiversification, and phenotypic plasticity.
- Selected member of Panama's National Research System (SNI)
- Research associate at INDICASAT, Panama
