Keir Wefferling（他/他/他）是Cofrin生物多样性中心Gary A. few标本馆馆长，生物学助理教授。 自2020年以来，他一直在威斯康星大学绿湾分校任教，并教授野外植物学和植物生物多样性。 Most of Keir's work to date focuses on plant systematics: describing plant biodiversity and evolutionary relationships among lineages. 最近，Keir花了更多的时间在该地区的沼泽和沼泽中，并正在学习识别苔藓和其他苔藓植物。 When he's not working, he's botanizing, playing outside, or reading about moss or Wisconsin's natural plant communities.

研究兴趣
我的研究主要集中在植物的隐生物多样性，特别是在无籽系的苔藓和蕨类植物。 我的大部分工作都是在物种到种群水平和多倍体物种复合体上。 我的目标是划定和描述物种，追踪功能性状的进化，识别和估计基因组复制和合并事件的时间，绘制谱系的地理和生态分布。

I've recently become more interested in the functioning and integrity of peat-accumulating wetlands in the Great Lakes region, and in identifying and documenting the bryophytes (the non-vascular land plant lineages: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) in these diverse and important carbon-storing plant communities.
