Roderic Dugald Morton Page (born 1962) is a New Zealand-born evolutionary biologist at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and the author of several books. [4] As of 2015 he is professor at the University of Glasgow and was editor of the journal Systematic Biology until the end of 2007. [5] His main interests are in phylogenetics, [6] evolutionary biology and bioinformatics. [7] [8]

Education

Page was born in Auckland and earned a PhD in 1990 from the University of Auckland. [9]

Career and research

Page is known for his work on co-speciation and in particular the development of bioinformatic software such as TreeMap, [10] RadCon, [11] [12] and TreeView. [2] [13] [14] [15] Page is a co-author with Eddie Holmes of Molecular Evolution: A phylogenetic approach [1] and editor of Tangled trees: phylogeny, cospeciation and coevolution. [16]

Awards and honours

He received the Bicentenary Medal of the Linnean Society in 1998, [17] and the Ebbe Nielsen Challenge joint first prize in 2018. [18]
