Daniel Pincheira-Donoso
Senior Lecturer in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Lincoln (UK). His research combines a number of theoretical and empirical approaches, and encompasses a range of fields, including selection theory, the ecological and genetic basis of adaptive evolution and speciation, macroecology, climate change biology and more recently, conservation. He is the author of over 70 publications, has delivered tens of talks at multiple institutions around the world, and his work and academic profile have received global media attention. Daniel received his PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Exeter (2008) and previously a BSc in Biology from the Universidad de Concepcion in Chile (2003). Before coming to Lincoln as a Lecturer in Evolution (2012-2014), he held three postdoctoral positions at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter (2008-2012). |
