Carl Theodore Bergstrom is a theoretical and evolutionary biologist and a professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, with a secondary appointment at the Santa Fe Institute.
Bergstrom completed his PhD at Stanford University under the supervision of Marcus Feldman in 1998.
Bergstrom's work concerns the flow of information through biological and social networks and the ecology and evolution, including the development of resistance, of pathogenic organisms. He is the coauthor (with Lee Dugatkin) of the college textbook Evolution.
In addition to evolutionary biology, Bergstrom's interests include the ranking of scientific journals; in 2007 he introduced the Eigenfactor metrics for journal ranking. This and related work on open access earned him and his father, Ted Bergstrom, the SPARC Innovator award in June 2007.
