Kathleen M. Pryer is a Professor Emeritus in Biology at Duke University, with expertise in the evolutionary biology of plants, particularly ferns. Her research has included studies on hybridization and phylogenetic analyses in the mustard genus Boechera, as well as investigations into adaptive innovations in fern plastomes. Pryer has served as a co-principal investigator on grants addressing the evolutionary ecology of various plant species, particularly focusing on desiccation-tolerant ferns and the roles of vicariance versus long-distance dispersal in widely disjunct fern genera. Throughout her career, she has contributed significantly to both academic research and education in the biological sciences, currently aligned with the Duke Initiative on Science and Society.
