Daniel J. G. Lahr

PeerJ Editor & Author

Summary

I am interested in an array of questions regarding protistan evolution and diversity. I have worked in protistology since my 1st undergraduate year, then did a masters in taxonomy of testate amoebae and a PhD in evolutionary biology, focusing on amoebozoans. My research focuses on constructing phylogenetic trees to answer broad questions in the evolutionary biology of microbes.
