Career and research
editPage is known for his work on co-speciation and in particular the development of bioinformatic software such as TreeMap,[10] RadCon,[11][12] and TreeView.[1][13][14][15] Page is a co-author with Eddie Holmes of Molecular Evolution: A phylogenetic approach[3] and editor of Tangled trees: phylogeny, cospeciation and coevolution.[16]
Awards and honours
editHe received the Bicentenary Medal of the Linnean Society in 1998,[17] and the Ebbe Nielsen Challenge joint first prize in 2018.[18]
