معرفی
Rodet Rodriguez-Silva, PhD is a Lecturer at the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on ecology, evolution, and biogeography of Antillean livebearing fishes (Poeciliidae), particularly mechanisms driving speciation and conservation of endemic species. He also actively investigates the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in undergraduate biology education.
Research Interests:
- Ecological mechanisms of speciation in Caribbean livebearing fishes
- Conservation status of endemic Antillean species
- Active learning strategies in biology courses
Recent Research Trends: His publications from 2020-2023 consistently address new species discoveries in the genus Limia, feeding ecology comparisons across Greater Antilles habitats, and evolutionary drivers of color polymorphism in Cuban fish populations. His work bridges basic ecological research with applied conservation priorities in Caribbean freshwater ecosystems.
Awards: No scientific awards explicitly mentioned in profile.
Advising & Grants: No formal student advisees or grant details listed. Research collaborations include work with Matthew Spikes, Ingo Schlupp, and Haitian collaborators like Jean Josaphat.
