Rate My Professor Ingo Schlupp

Ingo Schlupp is the Presidential Professor of Biology in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Oklahoma, a position he has held since 2012, following roles as Assistant Professor (2005-2008) and Associate Professor (2008-2011) at the same institution. He also directs the International Stock Center of Livebearing Fishes and serves as a Research Associate in Ichthyology at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. His academic journey began at Universität Hamburg, where he obtained a Vordiplom in Biology (1984), Diploma in Biology (1988), Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in Biology (1991), and Habilitation (1995). Prior appointments include Associate Professor for Animal Behavior at Universität Hamburg (2003-2004), Heisenberg-Fellow (DFG, 2000-2003, 2004), and various post-doctoral and research fellowships at Universität Hamburg, University of Texas at Austin, Universität Würzburg, and Universität Zürich. Schlupp's research centers on the ecology and evolution of sexual reproduction, with a focus on the persistence of sex versus asexuality in gynogenetic species like the Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa), employing livebearing fishes (Poeciliidae) as model systems. His investigations cover male and female mate choice, sexual selection, speciation in cave fishes (Poecilia mexicana), sensory ecology, sperm competition, and biogeography of Limia species endemic to the Caribbean.
