New Zealand-born evolutionary biologist
Roderic Dugald Morton Page (born 1962) is a New Zealand-born evolutionary biologist at the University of Glasgow , Scotland , and the author of several books.[ 4] As of 2015[update] he is professor at the University of Glasgow and was editor of the journal Systematic Biology until the end of 2007.[ 5] His main interests are in phylogenetics ,[ 6] evolutionary biology and bioinformatics .[ 7] [ 8]
Education
Page was born in Auckland and earned a PhD in 1990 from the University of Auckland .[ 9]
Career and research
Page is known for his work on co-speciation and in particular the development of bioinformatic software such as TreeMap,[ 10] RadCon,[ 11] [ 12] and TreeView.[ 1] [ 13] [ 14] [ 15] Page is a co-author with Eddie Holmes of Molecular Evolution: A phylogenetic approach [ 3] and editor of Tangled trees: phylogeny, cospeciation and coevolution .[ 16]
Awards and honours
He received the Bicentenary Medal of the Linnean Society in 1998,[ 17] and the Ebbe Nielsen Challenge joint first prize in 2018.[ 18]
