معرفی
Matthew Prebus is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Organismal Biology at Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences. He is affiliated with the Social Insect Research Group. His research focuses on ant systematics, phylogenomics, and biogeography, with a particular emphasis on the genus Temnothorax. He combines morphological and molecular methods to describe new species, resolve evolutionary relationships, and study social behaviors in ants.
Prebus's work spans multiple regions, including Sicily, the eastern United States, and Pakistan, addressing topics like species delimitation, collective behavior evolution, and parasitic ant syndromes. His recent studies highlight rapid behavioral evolution in acorn ants and rediscovery of rare social parasites. He actively contributes to taxonomic revisions and integrative approaches in entomology.
No scientific awards or advising records are listed. He collaborates within the Social Insect Research Group, focusing on collective behavior and ant biodiversity. His research bridges phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological dimensions of hymenopteran diversity.
