Axel Meyer
Axel Meyer (born 4 August 1960) is a German evolutionary biologist and a professor of zoology and evolutionary biology at the University of Konstanz, Germany.
Meyer is best known for his work on the evolution and adaptive radiation of African cichlid fishes,[1][2] fish-specific genome duplications,[3][4] molecular phylogenetics of vertebrates,[5][6] and the role of ecological and sexual selection in speciation.[7][8]
