Daly-Engel, Toby - University of West Florida

个人简介

Dr. Toby Daly-Engel, an Assistant Professor, teaches Marine Vertebrate Zoology with lab, General Biology II, and Principles of Evolution. Daly-Engel is an evolutionary biologist interested in reproductive strategies, particularly from the standpoint of female fitness. She uses a combination of field ecology and genetic techniques to examine these strategies in marine fishes, especially sharks. She also works on general topics in shark biology and conservation such as dispersal patterns, stock structure, and fisheries management. She earned a Ph.D. in Zoology (with a specialization in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology) from the University of Hawaii, where she also received a M.S. in Zoology. Daley-Engel has a B.A. in Biology from Oberlin College. Daly-Engel’s current research examines the genetic mating system and dispersal of coastal sharks like Atlantic sharpnose, finetooth, and tiger sharks, as well as global phylogeography and speciation of deep-water fishes like sixgill sharks, dogfish sharks, and hagfishes. Among the publications that have carried her findings: Proceedings of the Royal Society B, PLoS ONE, Conservation Genetics, Marine and Freshwater Research, and Journal of Marine Biology. Daly-Engel was a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Arizona, where she studied reproductive evolution in the giant water bug. She is also an AAUS-certified scientific diver and boat operator licensed by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Ph.D. Zoology /specialization in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, University of Hawaii M.S. Zoology, University of Hawaii B.A. Biology, Oberlin College.

研究领域

Daly-Engel's research uses genetic techniques to investigate the evolution of cryptic reproductive behavior (behavior that is difficult or impossible to observe directly). In particular, she is interested in the role that sexual selection plays in the evolution of promiscuous mating strategies among females, such as polyandry and multiple paternity. She works on general topics in shark biology and conservation. She is currently researching multiple paternity in the chain catshark (Scyliorhinus retifer); global phylogeography of the bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus); phylogenetics of dogfish sharks (genusSqualus) in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean.
