Molecular Ecology & Ecological Genomics
-
We use molecular markers to infer population genetic structure, patterns of gene flow, population identity of aquatic organisms in a contemporary and historic perspective. We develop and apply tools to monitor the fate of neutral and ecologically relevant traits in natural populations, and we engage in environmental genomics of the water flea Daphnia.
- Ecological genomics of Daphnia
- Spatial and temporal structure of genetic variation; metapopulation structure
- Phylogeography of damselflies and Daphnia
- Neutral versus selective evolution based on molecular markers
- Ancient DNA
- Phylogeography
