Dr. André Green

Biography

André Green II is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. He holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University in Biology and a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also in Biology. His research focuses broadly on functional complexity across biological organization—from molecules and cells to organisms and populations—examining how these complexities emerge and evolve within dynamic ecological systems. His current work investigates the developmental and genetic design traits that influence the migration strategies of monarch butterflies, integrating aspects of development, genomics, behavior, and physiology in both laboratory and natural settings. André is actively involved in graduate training and has worked closely with students and research technicians in his lab, aiming to illuminate general mechanisms that promote or constrain biodiversity generation. His research areas include ecological and evolutionary developmental biology (eco-evo-devo), evolutionary genetics, organismal biology, and physiological ecology.
