New Graduate Student Organization in the School of Life Sciences

SaBR (Systematics and Biogeographic Research) is a graduate student-led group at the School of Life Sciences interested in uncovering evolutionary patterns and processes of Earth’s biotas. The organization serves as a forum for exchanging ideas, eliciting arguments, learning analytical methods, and incorporating ecological concepts into an explicit historical context. SaBR holds weekly meetings where members present their research and lead tutorials on the latest software packages and methodological trends in biogeography, phylogenetic and phylogeographic theory, and population genetics. SaBR enthusiastically welcomes all researchers interested in participating in their discussions.

SaBR is an organization conceived, established, and run by students, and exemplifies the initiative and commitment of graduate students in the School of Life Sciences to advance the educational and research missions of this academic unit of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
