Overview

Eldredge Bermingham is affiliated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Their research work primarily spans the field of Environmental Science, with a focus on Genetics, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, and Paleontology. Their academic contributions center around topics such as genetic diversity and population structure, parasite biology and host interactions, evolution and paleontology studies, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, and fish biology, ecology, and behavior.

The scientist has authored several papers throughout recent years, contributing to various recognized scientific journals. Key publications include:

  • "Demographic consequences of foraging ecology explain genetic diversification in Neotropical bird species," 2021, Ecology Letters
  • "Author Correction: Speciation by hybridization in Heliconius butterflies," 2021, Nature
  • "Geography is a stronger predictor of diversification of monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes) than host relatedness in characin fishes of Middle America," 2025, PLoS ONE
  • "Geography is a stronger predictor of diversification of monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes) than host relatedness in characid fishes of Middle America," 2024, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Bermingham frequently collaborates with several researchers across their publications. Among their most frequent co-authors are Fernando Alda, Edgar F. Mendoza-Franco, William Hanson-Regan, Ruth G. Reina, and Mark E. Torchin. These collaborations have formed part of studies published in diverse venues.

Publication venues where Bermingham has contributed include:

  • Ecology Letters
  • Nature
  • PLoS ONE
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

The research conducted by Bermingham incorporates a multidisciplinary approach that bridges genetics with ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Their work on parasite-host relationships within fish species highlights geography as a significant factor influencing diversification, while their studies on Neotropical birds examine how foraging ecology impacts genetic diversification. This intersection of evolutionary biology and environmental factors characterizes much of their scientific inquiry.

Bermingham's research output reflects ongoing contributions to understanding complex biological systems, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Their engagement with a variety of topics such as population genetics and parasite biology demonstrates an integrative approach to studying biodiversity and species interactions within ecological contexts.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring advanced study or career change opportunities in Ecology and Evolution often leads students to consider flexible online programs. If you have a background in nursing, popular routes like the 6-month rn to bsn program offer accelerated options to upskill and pursue roles in research, management, or environmental health.

For nurses wanting to unlock more specialized career pathways, programs such as asn to fnp programs provide structured curricula for moving into advanced practice. Those seeking a total career shift can also benefit from online msn programs for non nurses, which are designed for individuals from non-nursing backgrounds wanting to make a difference in biology-related health fields.

With so many online options, it’s important to compare program quality, tuition, and learning formats. Not sure which university fits your goals best? Resources like capella university vs wgu rn to bsn can help you evaluate which flexible, accredited programs align with your academic and career aspirations.
