Michael Logan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research investigates how organisms adapt to rapid environmental changes, using experimental approaches with Anolis lizards and other systems to explore evolutionary mechanisms.
Education includes a Ph.D. in Biology from Dartmouth College (2014), M.S. from University of Texas-Arlington (2009), B.A. from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (2007), and A.S. from College of Lake County (2005).
Research focuses on evolutionary responses to climate change, phenotypic plasticity, genetic adaptation, and thermal physiology. Key areas include behavioral ecology, physiological constraints, and genomic mechanisms in tropical ecosystems.
Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate strong themes in climate adaptation, thermal biology, and evolutionary genetics. Over 60% of articles address climate impacts on physiology or behavior, while 40% incorporate genomic methods. Research consistently uses lizard models to study evolutionary processes.
No scientific awards or student advising roles are documented.
Leads field experiments in Honduras and The Bahamas studying lizard adaptation. Research involves collaborations across evolutionary biology and ecology disciplines.
