Biography
Mark D. Rausher received his BA in Biology from the University of Chicago (IL, USA), and his PhD from Cornell University (Ithaca, NY, USA). He has served on the editorial boards of Ecology, Evolution, New Phytologist, and Biological Letters, and has served as Editor-in-Chief of The American Naturalist and Evolution. He has served as President of the Society for the Study of Evolution, and has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Mark's work focuses on a variety of topics: the evolution of reproductive isolation between closely related species of Ipomoea, the effects of gene flow and hybridization on patterns of genome variation in Ipomoea, the genetic changes underlying the evolution of floral patterns in Clarkia, and determining whether parallel floral evolution in Penstemon is caused by parallel genetic evolution.
Mark has been an Editor of New Phytologist since 2002.
