Evolutionary Genomics and Sex Chromosome Evolution.
Evolutionary Genomics and Sex Chromosome Evolution.
Evolutionary genetics and population ecology of plants; global change biology;
field ecology; seed dispersal ecology; frugivorous fish.
My research group develops statistical and and computational approaches to better extract
information from biological data, particularly in the genotype-phenotype relationship.
My unit’s work addresses dimensions of plant genome biology relevant toward a more bio-based economy, linking increased fundamental knowledge to improved human lives.
Behavioral and evolutionary genetics and epigenetics of social insects.
Environmental Genomics; Crocodilians; Reptilian Genomics; Molecular Ecology.
Bacterial physiology and metabolic integration using biochemical, genetic and metabolomics approaches.
Functional and evolutionary genomics of microbial associations with insects; virology, symbiosis, immunity
Population epigenomics and mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance.
