Mark Kirkpatrick of the University of Texas at Austin will conduct studies of theoretical population genetics during the next five years using the funds granted by a Presidential Young Investigator Award. Dr. Kirkpatrick formulates genetic models of evolution and most recently he has been focusing on selective forces that relate to characters associated with one sex of animal or plant (hence the term, sexual selection). These traits are behavioral and morphological, and can affect mating success and survival within the contexts of a variety of social systems and environmental conditions. A second area of investigation pertains to the analysis of experimental data to determine if and how complex traits (or characters) are constrained by genetic and developmental mechanisms. Generally, Dr. Kirkpatrick's research contributions have been recognized for their sophistication and elegance, and this has led to his prominence and recognition.

德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的马克·柯克帕特里克（Mark Kirkpatrick）将在未来五年内使用总统年轻调查员奖的资金进行理论人口遗传学研究。 柯克帕特里克（Kirkpatrick）博士制定了进化的遗传模型，最近他一直专注于与与动物或植物的性别相关的角色相关的选择性力量（因此，性选择术语）。 这些特征是行为和形态学的，可以在各种社会系统和环境条件的背景下影响交配的成功和生存。 第二个研究领域与实验数据的分析有关，以确定是否以及如何以及如何受到遗传和发育机制的约束。 通常，柯克帕特里克（Kirkpatrick）博士的研究贡献因其精致和优雅而得到认可，这导致了他的突出和认可。
