معرفی
Richard C. Moore is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Miami University. He is affiliated with the Willard Sherman Turrell Herbarium and the Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology Graduate Program. His research focuses on bridging genomic and morphological diversity studies in plants, emphasizing microevolutionary processes such as sex chromosome evolution and duplicate gene evolution. He also explores the role of transposable elements in homoploid hybrid speciation and genetic/morphological diversity in natural populations.
Research Interests: Moore combines genomics, systematics, developmental genetics, and molecular evolutionary biology to study how structural genomic changes drive plant diversity. Key areas include plant evolutionary biology, evolutionary genetics, sex chromosome evolution, gene flow dynamics, and duplicate gene evolution. His work highlights innovations in plant development through genomic shifts.
Advising and Grants: Moore has advised students including SM Owens, NA Harberson, L.A. Weingartner, J.E. Brown, J.M. Bauman, J.F. Lawrie, and S.E. Staton. No grants are explicitly mentioned in the text.
Labs and Teams: He is part of the Willard Sherman Turrell Herbarium, and his lab investigates genomic mechanisms shaping plant morphology and species diversity.
