About

Evon Hekkala is an Associate Professor at Fordham University in the United States. His research primarily focuses on paleogenomics and the evolutionary history of various vertebrates, including the extinct Holocene “horned” crocodile of Madagascar and the American crocodile. He has recently published articles addressing ecological patterns of extinctions in Madagascar and genetic dynamics within metapopulations of the American pika, among other topics. His work integrates insights from both genetic studies and archaeological excavations to explore the impacts of human activity and environmental changes on wildlife.
