Pamela Soltis is an American botanist.

She is a distinguished professor at the University of Florida and principal investigator of the Laboratory of Molecular Systematics and Evolutionary Genetics at the Florida Museum of Natural History.[1]

Early life and Education

Pamela Soltis was born on November 13, 1957, on Athens, Ohio to Barbara D. Sagraves and Walter Ronald Sagraves. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1986.

Career

Dr. Soltis research interests are angiosperm phylogeny, phylogeography, polyploidy, and conservation genetics.[2] Among her most cited contributions are papers on the role of genetic and genomic attributes in the success of polyploids. In 2016, Dr. Soltis was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Soltis was President of the Botanical Society of America 2007-08.[3]
