Associate Professor of Biology, University of North Dakota Brian Darby, Ph.D., is an associate professor of biology whose research focuses on soil ecology (understanding how the soil microbiota affect the health and function of the soil system, and identification of all the fascinating nematodes, tardigrades, rotifers, mites, collembolans, and protozoans in the soil environment); ecological genomics (seeking to understand what genes and genome features are necessary to understand an organism's abundance and distribution in the world); wildlife genetics (using molecular tools to understand wildlife populations, movement, and behavior to help inform management and conservation); and statistics/biometry (modeling quantitative data to test hypotheses, estimate parameters, and predict future scenarios).
