Biography

Kevin Paul Johnson is a distinguished researcher at the School of Integrative Biology at Illinois University, specializing in entomology. His primary research focuses on molecular evolution, biodiversity, and systematics, particularly in avian hosts and their ectoparasitic lice. Johnson’s current investigations delve into the intricate coevolutionary history between birds and their lice, including how cospeciation occurs across different lice groups. With a PhD in Ecology from the University of Minnesota (1997) and a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Bethel College, St Paul (1991), he brings a rich academic background to his research. He is affiliated with the Illinois Natural History Survey as a Principal Ornithologist, where he continues to contribute significantly to the understanding of host-parasite systems and the broader implications of microevolutionary processes on macroevolutionary patterns.
