Jeanne Zeh carried out research at the interface of behavior, genetics and evolution, and utilized a variety of methods, ranging from field studies of sexual selection to next generation DNA sequencing. She retired in 2022 after 23 years of service in research, teaching and undergraduate/graduate mentorship in the Department of Biology and the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. The undergraduate/graduate course she developed on epigenetics and human disease (BIOL 454/654) was among the highest enrollment upper division electives taught in the Department of Biology and was the first epigenetics course established in the Nevada System of Higher Education.

Proceedings from the GoFundMe will help establish a scholarship in her name at the University of Nevada, Reno after her passing on July 6th, 2025.
