Biography:
Robert Anderson conducts biogeographic studies at the interface between ecology and evolution. His current research program centers on developing GIS-based methods of modeling species’ geographic ranges using occurrence records and environmental data. In addition to these techniques of general application to biogeography and conservation, his taxonomic and geographic specialty is Neotropical mammals. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Kansas and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the American Museum of Natural History.
