Dolph Schluter FRS FRSC OBC (born May 22, 1955) is a Canadian professor of Evolutionary Biology and a Canada Research Chair in the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia.
[1] Schluter is a major researcher in adaptive radiation and currently studies speciation in the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus.
Schluter's early research was done on the evolutionary ecology and morphology of Darwin's finches, and was featured in the popular science book the Song of the Dodo by David Quammen.
Using revolutionary studies of finches and sticklebacks, Dolph Schluter, University of British Columbia, Canada, has provided us with knowledge of how species arise.
[7] In 2023, Schluter was awarded the Crafoord Prize[8][9] for "revolutionary studies of finches and sticklebacks [which have] provided us with knowledge of how species arise.
