 BIOLOGICAL SCIENCEFACULTY MEMBER Dr. Fredrik Ronquist
Associate Professor; Ph.D., Uppsala University, 1994 Research and Professional Interests: My PhD is from Uppsala University in Sweden, where I studied the comparative morphology, phylogeny, and evolution of cynipoid wasps. After defending my thesis in 1994, I spent a few years at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm before returning to Uppsala University, where I became Professor of Systematic Zoology in 1999. I moved to Florida State University in 2003 to join the computational evolutionary biology group at the School of Computational Science. I still maintain an active interest in the systematics, phylogeny and evolution of the Hymenoptera but much of my post-PhD research has focused on computational phylogenetics, particularly the development of parsimony methods for the study of coevolution and biogeography (DIVA and TreeFitter) and more recently Bayesian MCMC methods for phylogenetic inference (MrBayes). I am also an adjunct member of the steering group for the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative, and I am coordinating the large interdisciplinary team at FSU developing MorphBank.
