Michael Matschiner

Professor Michael Matschiner at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München's Faculty of Biology leads research in systematic zoology, focusing on biodiversity origins through molecular analyses. His work bridges phylogenetics and population genetics, with a specialization in rapid adaptive radiations.

• Key research groups: East African cichlids, Indo-Pacific eels, Antarctic notothenioids
• Methodological expertise: Hybridization detection, museum specimen genomics, bioinformatics

Recent studies explore Antarctic icefish diversification, hybridization dynamics, and genomic adaptations to extreme environments.

His methodological contributions include tools like Dsuite and Hapsolutely for analyzing admixture and haplotype networks. Research spans evolutionary mechanisms, conservation genomics, and paleobiogeography.
