Alfried P. Vogler 教授简介

Alfried Vogler教授，博士生导师。现任英国帝国理工学院分子系统学领域教授，同时供职于英国自然历史博物馆，曾作为动物所秉志论坛教授于2009年访问我所。

他是鞘翅目分子系统发育研究领域的领军人，主要研究领域包括鞘翅目昆虫的分子系统学、分子进化及甲虫多样性等研究，基部分子序列和系统分析方法来探究甲虫多样性大尺度的科学问题，涉及到每个分类阶元，从种群到目间关系的研究。另外，他还致力于利用DNA来鉴定物种的研究，特别是对于热带地区一些未知种。Alfried Vogler 教授具有广泛的国际交流经验，先后联合培养了来自美国、西班牙、德国、日本、希腊、中国等国的数名研究生。近五年来，Alfried Vogler 教授参加了世界很多国家的学术演讲，先后在 Science、Systematic Biology, Nucleic Acids Res., Molecular Ecology等国际知名期刊上发表论文近50篇。

Professor Alfried Vogler has a joint position at the Natural History Museum and at Imperial College, London. He is one of the most important leaders of molecular phylogenetic research of Coleroptera and other field. His main interest is in the phylogeny and evolution of Coleoptera (beetles), arguably the largest radiation of animal species on Earth. He uses DNA sequences and phylogenetic analysis to study a wide range of questions to explain the great diversity of beetles, at all hierarchical levels, from populations to basal relationships of the order. In addition, he develops DNA-based approaches as short-cut for taxonomy, in particular in poorly known tropical groups. He has very comprehensive experiences collaborating with international colleagues. He has trained many international Master/ PhD students who are from America, Spain, Germany, Japan, China and so on. He has published many outstanding papers in many famous journals such as Sciences, Systematic Biology, Nucleic Acids Res., Molecular Ecology.
