Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Harvard University Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology is a 120-PI network with 144 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Agricultural and Biological Sciences as the leading field (24% of slots across 53 PIs; 53 labels), Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 35 PIs; 35 labels), and Plant and animal studies as the leading topic (6% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are L. Mahadevan (71.6 weighted works; Advanced Materials and Mechanics, Adhesion, Friction, and Surface Interactions). The strongest pairings are Michael Bradshaw and Donald H. Pfister (15 shared works, weight 14.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 42.3, around Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Ecological Modeling, led by Charles C. Davis, Scott V. Edwards, Aaron M. Ellison.
