Cheryl A. Zimmer

Cheryl A. Zimmer is a North American evolutionary biologist whose research interests are focused marine population ecology, specifically the role of hydrodynamics as a driving force in the evolution of marine life. She is a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. There she runs the Zimmer Lab, in collaboration with her husband and colleague Richard Zimmer.
