About the author

Áki Jarl Láruson is a Postdoctoral Associate at Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University, USA. His original research focus was marine invertebrate zoology, but in an effort to understand the analytical approaches necessary for marine biology work, he has found himself more and more focused on molecular evolution theory and analysis.

Floyd Allan Reed is Associate Professor at the Department of Biology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA, where he teaches upper division undergraduate genetics, and graduate level population genetics courses. His research interests include aspects of human evolution and engineering safe and reversible gene drive systems for vector transmitted disease eradication.
