His research interests center on evolutionary genomics, with focuses on sex chromosome evolution, population genomics, and gene duplication in vertebrates such as macaque monkeys, vizcacha rats, and African clawed frogs. Some of the highlights of Dr. Evans’ work include (1) the identification of areas of genetic endemism on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, (2) the discovery and characterization of an adaptive radiation of fanged frogs on Sulawesi, and (3) exploration and synthesis of aspects of sex chromosome evolution, species diversification, and genome duplication of African clawed frogs.
