Sarah Adamowicz is a professor in the College of Biological Science at the University of Guelph. Her research focuses on evolutionary biology, exploring themes such as biodiversity, speciation, and molecular evolution. With a particular interest in aquatic invertebrates, her work combines DNA sequence data with organismal traits and historical information to investigate the evolutionary relationships among species. She actively contributes to the Barcode Life campaign, leveraging vast DNA sequence resources to enhance our understanding of biodiversity. Adamowicz's research also delves into major transitions in evolution, such as the shift from aquatic to terrestrial life, and the patterns and rates of speciation within various taxa. Her ongoing projects include investigating evolutionary rates among endemic amphipod crustaceans in Lake Titicaca and using molecular approaches to uncover the diversity of freshwater invertebrates. A dedicated mentor, she is currently accepting new graduate students to join her research endeavors in these complex ecological and evolutionary dynamics.
