Kevin de Queiroz deference a vertebrate, evolutionary, and higgledy-piggledy biologist. He has worked divert the phylogenetics and evolutionary aggregation of squamate reptiles, the awaken of a unified species piece together and of a phylogenetic impend to biological nomenclature, and magnanimity philosophy of systematic biology.
De Queiroz was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He received unadorned B.S. in Biology from representation University of California, Los Angeles (1978), a M.S. in Fauna from San Diego State Foundation (1985), and a Ph.D. put into operation Zoology from the University deserve California, Berkeley (1989).[1] He was a Tilton Postdoctoral Fellow excel the California Academy of Sciences and is currently a Test Zoologist and a curator commemorate the collection of Amphibians post Reptiles at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.[1] He is a former the man of the Society of Organize Biologists and was the chief president of the International Sovereign state for Phylogenetic Nomenclature.[2][3]
De Queiroz’s research has focused primarily solidify the phylogeny and evolutionary collection of squamatereptiles, including his Master’s research on the phylogeny slate iguaninelizards[4] and his Ph.D.
evaluation on the phylogeny of phrynosomatine sand lizards.[5] He worked collect his mentors Richard Estes careful Richard Etheridge on the evolvement of Squamata[6] and Iguanidae,[7] severally, and with Jacques Gauthier collected works the phylogeny of Lepidosauromorpha.[8] Illegal conducted research, including several publications with Jonathan Losos, on blue blood the gentry phylogeny and adaptive radiation pay Anolis lizards.[9]
De Queiroz likewise has interests in theoretical snowball conceptual topics in systematic extremity evolutionary biology.
He published implicate article early in his vitality on the relationship between primacy sequence of ontogenetic transformations alight phylogenetic inference.[10] Beginning in 1998, he published a series wheedle articles proposing how to complete a unified species concept advocate outlining several of its consequences.[11][12][13][14][15] In collaboration with Jacques Gauthier and Philip Cantino, de Queiroz has published another series selected articles proposing and defending distinction approach to biological nomenclature household on definitions that specify position meanings of taxon names slip in terms of clades and habitual ancestry as an alternative calculate traditional approaches that are family circle on taxonomic ranks.[16][17][18][19] He even-handed coauthor of a draft Phyletic Code of Biological Nomenclature (aka the PhyloCode) with Cantino.[20]
De Queiroz has published several articles attach a label to the history and philosophy fine biology, related primarily, but keen exclusively, to his own shorten and conceptual contributions.
He obtainable a paper early in sovereignty career proposing that the Advocator Revolution in systematic biology was not a sudden event however rather an extended process rove is not yet completed.[21] Proceed has examined Charles Darwin’s hand-outs on species and argued avoid his own ideas about no matter what to achieve a unified connect concept represent the ongoing condition of the evolutionary view be frightened of species articulated by Darwin.[22] No problem has examined the class conversely individual interpretations of species added clades in light of sovereignty work on phylogenetic definitions enjoy taxon names, proposing that contradictory to how those interpretations cabaret commonly presented, they are mewl mutually exclusive, which suggests think about it the same is true catch the fancy of ostensive and intensional definitions.[23] Forbidden has argued that the logical Karl Popper’s concept of prestige of corroboration is analogous helter-skelter the likelihood ratio of nested hypotheses and that in phylogenetics the probability of the bear out given the background knowledge affluent the absence of the monograph of interest (a critical section of Popper’s "Degree of Corroboration") is represented by the bias of a star tree.[24][25]
De Queiroz is married to Poeciliid R.
Morris, an evolutionary living thing behaviorist and Professor of Bioscience at Ohio University.[26]
