Mark Engstrom is an Associate Professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Toronto. His research interests include phylogenetic patterns of biodiversity and the evolutionary mechanisms underlying these patterns. He focuses on chromosomal evolution and the role of chromosomal change in reproductive isolation and speciation, with a particular emphasis on the systematics of small mammals, especially rodents and bats. Current studies include the chromosomal speciation and biogeography of Nearctic collared lemmings, the applicability of Pleistocene refugial models to the speciation of Neotropical rodents, and the phylogenetic systematics of New World heteromyine and sigmodontine rodents. Engstrom is committed to advancing our understanding of evolutionary biology and contributes to the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Quarterly, which provides insights into the latest research and developments in the field.
