معرفی
Travis Seaborn is an Assistant Professor at the School of Natural Resource Sciences, North Dakota State University, specializing in Applied Ecology. His research bridges landscape genetics, climate change, and conservation biology to address challenges in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
- PhD in Biology, Washington State University (2019)
- MS in Biology, Western Carolina University (2014)
- BS in Biology with Minor in Philosophy, University of Washington (2010)
Seaborn’s work focuses on:
- Integrating genomics into ecological models to predict species responses to climate change
- Conservation translocation strategies for endangered populations
- Assessing adaptive capacity and extinction risk in cold-adapted species
- Riverscape genetics for dam removal impacts
- Population connectivity and hybridization dynamics
His recent publications emphasize the application of computational frameworks like CDMetaPOP and RAD sequencing to study fish and amphibian populations under environmental stressors, with keywords spanning behavioral plasticity, metapopulation dynamics, and eco-evolutionary responses.
Scientific Awards:
- NDSU EPSCoR Seed Award (2023) for “Comparative bee genomics”
- Co-PI on $974,122 Forest Service Infrastructure Law grant for invasive species research (2023)
Seaborn teaches courses in landscape genetics, ecosystem analysis, and natural resource management. His previous role at the University of Idaho involved NSF EPSCoR-funded postdoctoral research on landscape processes.
