Axel Meyer
Axel Meyer (born August 4, 1960) is an evolutionary biologist and a professor of zoology and evolutionary biology at the Universität Konstanz, Germany.
Meyer is best known for his work on the evolution and adaptive radiation of African cichlid fishes,〔Meyer, A., Kocher, T.D., Basasibwaki, P., Wilson, A.C. 1990. Monophyletic origin of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes suggested by mitochondrial DNA sequences. ''Nature'' 347 (6293): 550-553. () 〕〔Verheyen, E., Salzburger, W., Snocks, J. and A. Meyer. 2003. The origin of the superflock of cichlid fishes from Lake Victoria, East Africa. ''Science'' 300: 325-329. () 〕 fish-specific genome duplications,〔Meyer, A. & M. Schartl. 1999. Gene and genome duplications in vertebrates: the one-to-four (to eight in fish) rule and the evolution of novel gene functions. Curr. Op. Cell Biol. 11: 699-704.

() 〕 molecular phylogenetics of vertebrates,〔Meyer, A., Wilson, A.C. 1990. Origin of tetrapods inferred from their mitochondrial DNA affiliation to lungfish. J. Mol. Evol. 31: 359-364. () 〕〔(Zardoya, R., Meyer, A. 1998. Complete mitochondrial genome suggests diapsids affinities of turtles. PNAS 95 (24): 14226-14231 )〕 and the role of ecological and sexual selection in speciation.〔Meyer, A., Morrissey, J.M., Schartl, M. 1994.

== Education and previous employment==
Meyer attended the gymnasium (high school) Katharineum in Lübeck. He was an undergraduate at the Universität Marburg (1979–1982), and completed his undergraduate thesis at the Universität Kiel and the University of Miami, Florida (1982). He received both his master's and PhD from the (Department of Zoology ) at the University of California Berkeley in 1984 and 1988 respectively. He spent one year as a visiting student in Harvard University's (Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology ) (1986–1987).
Meyer was an Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Evolution at University of California Berkeley with Allan C. Wilson, before joining the faculty in the (Department of Ecology and Evolution ) at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook as an assistant professor. In 1993 he received tenure and was promoted to associate professor. Meyer joined the Universität Konstanz Department of Biology as a full professor in 1997.〔http://www.evolutionsbiologie.uni-konstanz.de/index.php?section=25〕
