Education

  • A.B., Zoology, University of Michigan, 1942
  • Ph.D., Stanford University, 1951

Research

Dr. Hubbs studies how fishes relate to their environment and how anthropogenic changes impact their survival. He investigates the causes and cures of endangered species status. His studies involve geographic variation in life history traits and interactions between a gynogenetic sexual parasite and its male host species.
