Theodore Garland, Jr. (born 28 November 1956) is a biologist specializing in evolutionary physiology. He was on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison for 14 years, served as a program director for the Population Biology and Physiological Ecology Program[1] at the National Science Foundation during 1991-1992, and is Professor of Biology at the University of California, Riverside. He earned his B.S in zoology and M.S. in biology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, working with William Glen Bradley, a mammalogist, and his Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine under Albert F. Bennett a comparative physiologist. While in graduate school, he served as President of the Southern Nevada Herpetology Association. During his Ph.D. work, he recorded the maximum speed (34.6 km/h) of what to date remains the world's fastest lizard, Ctenosaura similis. Subsequently, he completed postdoctoral training at the University of Washington with Raymond B. Huey.

Garland is the Editor in Chief for the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology,[2] is a Topic Editor for Comprehensive Physiology,[3] is on the Editorial Advisory Board of Zoology,[4] and has been on the editorial boards of the Journal of Morphology,[5] The American Naturalist, and Evolution.[6] He is an Associate Director for the Network for Experimental Research on Evolution,[7] a University of California Multicampus Research Program.

His major scientific contributions have been in the areas of lizard locomotor physiology and ecology, allometry, phylogenetic comparative methods [8]); and the application of artificial selection experiments to understand the correlated evolution ] of physiology and behavior, as well as the physiological, neurobiological, and genetic bases of voluntary activity levels (physical exercise).

Awards

In 1983-84, he was a Visiting Fulbright Scholar at the University of Wollongong, Australia, hosted by Anthony J. Hulbert. In 1991, he received a Presidential Young Investigator Award [9] from the National Science Foundation.
