Robert A. Desharnais is an American evolutionary biologist who is an emeritus professor of biology at California State University, Los Angeles. His research area is population biology and ecology.[1]
Life
[edit]Desharnais studied biology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1976. At the University of Rhode Island, in 1979, he earned a Master of Science degree in zoology, and in 1982 he received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in zoology.[2] His doctoral advisor was the population geneticist Robert F. Constantino.[3][4]
After finishing his graduate studies, from 1982 to 1983, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Dalhousie University. From 1985 to 1987, he was a research associate at Rockefeller University, and from 1987 to 1988, he was an assistant professor] In 1988, he moved to Los Angeles, California to work as an assistant professor at California State University, Los Angeles, and in 1997, there he became full professor.[5] He is an emeritus professor of biology.[6] Some of his research interests are theoretical biology, nonlinear population dynamics, chaos theory in population ecology, and the role of natural selection in population dynamics.[6]
