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[2].

Schluter received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Guelph in 1977, and his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Michigan in 1983, both in Ecology and Evolution.

Research

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[3]. Schluter is the author of The Ecology of Adaptive Radiation, 2000, Oxford University Press, and The Analysis of Biological Data, 2009 (and 2015), with Michael Whitlock, and an editor with Robert E. Ricklefs of Species Diversity in Ecological Communities: Historical and Geographical Perspectives, 1993, Chicago University Press.

His 2023 Crafoord Prize citation stated "This year’s Crafoord Laureate in biosciences has demonstrated that Darwin’s theories about natural selection are true in practice. Using revolutionary studies of finches and sticklebacks, Dolph Schluter, University of British Columbia, Canada, has provided us with knowledge of how species arise.

Awards and Honours

In 1999, he was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of London.[4] In 2001, he was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[5] In 2017, he was elected as a Foreign Fellow of the US National Academy of Sciences.[6] Schluter was made a Member of the Order of British Columbia in 2021.[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."[10]
