Dolph Schluter explores the origin of species on Earth, an avenue of research he has pursued with persistence, creativity, and methodical precision for more than 40 years. Schluter has taken what for Darwin was mainly a thought experiment and applied modern experimental methods to provide scientific evidence of the process of natural selection on species’ origins and the evolution of differences between species. He moved from field studies of Darwin’s finches on the Galápagos Islands to experimental ponds filled with threespine stickleback fish on the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus, where he is a professor of evolutionary biology. Schluter was elected as a foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences in 2017. His Inaugural Article (1) is a joint project with his long-time collaborator David Kingsley, with whom he has worked to discover key genes that underlie species differences among sticklebacks. In their Inaugural Article, Schluter, Kingsley, and colleagues point to a stickleback gene that appears to have a dramatic effect on fitness in adapting populations.

Dolph Schluter的个人资料[个人资料]

Dolph Schluter探索地球上物种的起源，这是他40多年来坚持不懈，富有创造力和有条不紊的精确性的研究途径。Schluter认为达尔文主要是一个思想实验，并应用了现代实验方法，为物种起源的自然选择过程以及物种之间的差异演化提供了科学依据。他从加拉帕戈斯群岛上达尔文雀科的实地研究转移到不列颠哥伦比亚大学（UBC）校园的充满三脊棘背鱼的实验池塘，在那里他是进化生物学教授。施吕特尔当选为美国国家科学院的在2017年就职第一个外籍院士（1）是与他的长期合作者大卫·金斯利（David Kingsley）的一项联合项目，他与之合作发现了构成棘背le物种差异基础的关键基因。Schluter，Kingsley及其同事在他们的就职文章中指出，棘背基因似乎对适应人群的适应性具有显着影响。
