Research summary

Bryan C. Carstens studies how species' genetic diversity is shaped by geography, climate, and evolutionary history, using genomic data from bats, lizards, salamanders, birds, and plants. His work increasingly combines phylogeography (the study of how genetic patterns relate to geographic distribution) with machine learning and simulation tools to predict biodiversity patterns and understand population structure. Students in this area would likely work on computational analysis of genetic datasets to answer questions about how organisms' genetic diversity relates to their environment and history.

Publication output was fairly steady at 9-13 papers per year from 2020-2023 but has declined in 2024-2026, though this recent drop may partly reflect incomplete indexing for forthcoming years.
