General Websites:

Public Library of Science (PLoS): A website dedicated to publishing freely accessible, peer-reviewed research. Many of these journals have very impressive impact factors. This may be the wave of the future in publishing articles. Take a look at a recent article by D. S. Wilson regarding how to teach evolution to undergraduates.

Human Behavior and Evolution Society: An good website for learning a bit about how evolutionary psychology is practiced.

Quantitative Genetics Resources: A compendium of information and links on quantitative genetics, maintained by Mike Lynch and Bruce Walsh.

Purdue’s Online Writing Lab, Research Papers: An excellent resource for undergraduate students trying to write research papers.

Talk.Origins: A scholarly newsgroup largely devoted to shedding light on the so-called evolution versus creationism debate.

Academics’ Websites:

Michael Neale’s Website: Michael Neale, author of the Mx structural equation modeling program, is at the forefront of developing methods useful for the genetic dissection of traits. He also happens to regularly kick my butt in squash.

Nick Martin’s Website: Nick Martin heads the Genetic Epidemiology unit at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. He maintains a very useful list of downloadable publications on which he is an author, which is a significant percentage of all publications in the field.

Randolph Nesse’s Website: Randolph Nesse was my primary advisor at the University of Michigan. He is one of the founders of the field Darwinian Medicine.

Geoffrey Miller’s Website: Geoffrey Miller is an evolutionary psychologist who has an impressive track-record of coming up with new, interesting, and influential theories about how evolution affects human behavior.

Tor Wager’s Website: Tor was a colleague of mine at the University of Michigan and is now a professor at Columbia researching higher-level control of affective and cognitive processes using fMRI methodology. He  recently found that receiving an “analgesic” placebo reduces activation in certain pain-sensitive brain regions.

David Houle’s Website: David Houle is an evolutionary geneticist and a leading figure in the drive to understand the causes of genetic variation, particularly in traits that have been under long-term directional selection, such as sexually selected traits. In a paper co-authored with Geoffrey Miller, we argued that his and others’ insights into this area have much to offer to psychiatric genetics and evolutionary psychology.

Nick Barton’s Website: Nick Barton is another towering figure in evolutionary genetics. He takes a slightly different angle than Houle, placing somewhat less emphasis on mutation and more emphasis on balancing selection as a major source of genetic variation in traits.

David Buss’s Lab: Lab website for the president of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society.

Martie Haselton’s Website: Martie is a professor at UCLA who is interested in evolutionary psychology; specifically, in adaptive shifts in social judgment and how ovulatory cycle changes women’s behaviors and preferences.

Pete Hatemi’s Website: Pete is an assistant professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and a rising star in describing how genes and environments can play roles in social attitudes, including political attitudes.
