Dr.
Collyer earned his B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife from the University
of Minnesota, and both his M.S. and Ph.D. in Zoology from North Dakota
State University. In addition, Dr. Collyer was a Postdoctoral Research
Fellow at Iowa State University in the Department of Ecology, Evolution,
and Organismal Biology, and in the Department of Statistics.
Dr Collyer’s research is both empirical and theoretical. His empirical
research is concerned with understanding the ecological factors that
promote and maintain phenotypic diversity. Much of this research emphasis
focuses on aquatic organisms, especially threatened or endangered vertebrates,
such as pupfishes in North American deserts. Dr. Collyer’s theoretical
research involves developing quantitative methods for analyzing complex
phenotypic change.
