Daniel F. Hughes, Ph.D.

WELCOME: I'm an Assistant Professor of Biology at Coe College, where I work with students to learn how organisms, populations, and communities respond to change. My lab uses comparative approaches to connect ecological and evolutionary processes in wild animals. My research spans from the past to the present, from the tropics to temperate regions, and includes molecular phylogenetics, evolutionary ecology, and  population demography. My research has been featured in the Post, Gazette, Herald, and NPR. For more, follow us on social media or contact me directly.
