Evolutionary Ecology & Behavioural Ecology
- We study the evolution of anti-predator traits and host-parasite coevolution using aquatic organisms as model systems. We also study macro-evolutionary patterns associated with habitat shifts.
- Evolutionary ecology of antipredator traits (Daphnia and damselflies)
- Reconstruction of micro-evolution from dormant egg banks
- Host-parasite co-evolution (Daphnia and fishes)
- Macro-evolutionary correlates of habitat shifts
- Community genetics and metapopulation structure
- [Population genetic structure, local adaptation and gene flow]
