Description: Personal Website of Orlando Schwery, Computational Macroevolutionary Biologist
I am a macroevolutionary biologist, who develops and uses software to answer questions about diversification (speciation, extinction, and their drivers). Beyond understanding the formation of biodiversity, my research has two main goals: to develop rigorous tests that ensure our inferences are correct, and to integrate biological knowledge from other fields into our inferences, in order to bridge the gap between micro- and macro-ecology and -evolution.
I found that I am more fascinated with answering macroevolutionary questions than I am married to a specific group of organisms. So far, I have worked on mammals, angiosperms, and insects, but would be happy to broaden my horizon by applying my skills to questions in a new taxonomic group.
