Scholar-generated biography
Sarin Tiatragul is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist whose research focuses on ecology, evolution, phylogenetics, macroevolution, and behaviour. Their work explores the interplay between environmental factors and species adaptation, particularly in the context of urbanization and climate change. Tiatragul investigates how ecological pressures shape evolutionary trajectories, with a focus on reptiles such as lizards and blindsnakes. They examine topics like thermal adaptation, nest site selection, and the impact of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. Their research also addresses conservation challenges, including the insufficient representation of insect species in protected areas. By integrating phylogenomic data with ecological observations, Tiatragul contributes to understanding macroevolutionary patterns and the dynamics of species diversification.
