Douglas Soltis is a Distinguished Professor in the Laboratory of Molecular Systematics & Evolutionary Genetics (Soltis lab), Florida Museum of Natural History, and Department of Biology at the University of Florida.[1] His research interests are in plant evolution and phylogeny,[1] an area in which he has published extensively together with his wife Pamela Soltis[2] and together they were the joint awardees of the 2006 Asa Gray Award. They are the principal investigators in the Soltis laboratory, where they both hold the rank of Distinguished Professor and are contributing authors of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.

Soltis holds a Ph.D. from Indiana University (1980).[3]

He is a member of the Editorial Board for PNAS.[4]
