Mark A. Kirkpatrick is a theoretical population geneticist and evolutionary biologist. He currently holds the T. S. Painter Centennial Professorship in Genetics in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin.[1] His research spans a wide range of topics, including the evolution of sex chromosomes, sexual selection, and speciation. Kirkpatrick is the co-author, along with Douglas J. Futuyma, of a popular undergraduate evolution textbook.[2] He is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences.[3]
Education
[edit | edit source]Kirkpatrick earned an undergraduate degree in biology from Harvard University in 1978 and a Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1983. His doctoral advisor was Montgomery Slatkin.
Research
[edit | edit source]Kirkpatrick’s research focuses on fundamental questions in theoretical evolutionary genetics. He has studied the evolution of female mating preferences from a population genetic perspective and, in addition to Russell Lande, formally modeled Ronald Fisher’s concept of runaway arbitrary intersexual selection and its role in speciation.[4][5][6] Kirkpatrick has worked on questions in quantitative genetics, speciation, and chromosome evolution, with a focus on the evolution of rearrangements, including inversions and fusions.[7] He has also been actively involved in research on sex chromosome evolution and sex determination.[8]
