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, species, and communities respond to change. My lab uses comparative approaches to connect ecological and evolutionary processes in reptiles and amphibians. My research interests span from the past to the present, and from the tropics to temperate regions, including African evolution and conservation, reproductive ecology, and urban demography. My research has been featured in the Washington Post, NBC Today, and VICE. Follow my social media or contact me directly.
