معرفی
Robert Boria is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at San Francisco State University. His research focuses on ecology, evolution, and climate change impacts on small mammals, particularly investigating historical genetic diversity and climate refugia. He employs interdisciplinary methods including phylogenetics, ecological niche modeling, and field/museum sampling. Boria leads the Boria Lab, which studies urbanization effects on mammal evolution in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Education: Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California, Merced. Specializes in phylogeography, species distribution modeling, and phylogenetics. His work integrates bioinformatics, spatial mapping, and lab techniques (DNA extraction, ancient DNA analysis). He emphasizes evidence-based teaching practices and inclusive classrooms.
Research trends in his publications include advancing species distribution modeling tools (ENMeval), analyzing rodent population dynamics, and exploring historical climatic influences on biodiversity. His work bridges computational methods with field ecology to address global change challenges.
No scientific awards explicitly listed. Advising and grants: Involves students in lab research projects, though specific grants/advising records are not detailed here. The Boria Lab website provides further details on current projects and collaborations.
Labs: Boria Lab focuses on ecology-evolution-global change intersections, with facilities in Hensil Hall. Active in both fieldwork and computational research, addressing urbanization impacts and climate adaptation strategies.
