Paul S. Manos is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Duke University, where he has been since 2010. His research emphasizes woody plants, particularly the systematics of Fagaceae (the oak family), Juglandaceae (the walnut family), and related wind-pollinated families within the flowering plants (Fagales). His laboratory utilizes DNA sequencing to generate hypotheses regarding phylogenetic relationships, inferring morphological character evolution, analyzing patterns of biogeography, and testing species concepts. Manos has guided numerous students and postdoctoral researchers in studying the systematics and diversification of angiosperm families. His work has made significant contributions to our understanding of plant evolution and ecology, underpinned by his expertise in molecular ecology, phylogeography, and comparative genomics.
