FRABLE, BENJAMIN

Research Interests

• Ichthyology
• Alpha taxonomy
• Macroevolution
• Molecular phylogenetics
• Historical biogeography

My research interests are broad and encompass many aspects of fish evolution. I am most interested in species-level relationships, phylogenetics, systematics and biogeography. What are the boundaries between species? How long have lineages been separated and why? How have groups diversified taxonomically and morphologically over geological timescales? 

I am not taxon specific and work/have worked on: lizardfish, rockfish, groupers, wrasses, and headstanding characins (superfamily Anostomoidea).
