Brief Research Description -

Hello - I’m Marc Bogonovich, I am a graduate student in the Watson lab. My interests lie in plant biogeography, and relate to species distributions, species range limits, macroevolution and the phylogenetic pattern of evolution through climate space. I explore these issues by examining broad scale geographical patterns with mapping (GIS). Some examples of my work are provided here: example maps

I have mapped much of the pteridophytes (ferns) of North America by creating a large GIS database by patching together existing distribution data. I am currently finishing up my doctoral thesis using this distributional data.

More recently, I've developed research interests in astrobiology. Astrobiology is a different view of terrestrial life as much as it is an exploration of the potential extraterrestrial life. My work in astrobiology lead to a review paper on the likelihood of the evolution intelligent life in a biota.

What else? I proudly work on Linux. I'm JAPH. I am developing a very strong research interest in the ZFEL.

Many people have worked with me over the years including, Courtney Terenna, Taylor Wahlig, Josh Pecenica, Kevin Sapp, Tara Florida and others. Taylor collaborated with me getting biodiversity information from paper sources using Perl. His work was part of an L-490 research credit project.
