Principal Investigator
Research interests:
I am evolutionary biologist with a broad interest in understanding the genetic basis of adaptations.
I have a particular interest in sexual selection and conflict and I apply the tools methods of modern genomics to try to understand how these forces drive evolutionary change.
Currently my research focuses on:
- Sexually antagonistic coevolution at the molecular level using the sex-peptide network in melanogaster as a model system. This work also includes behavioural experiments with isofemale lines from several european populations.
- The interaction between ecology and sexual conflict in melanogaster.
- Signals of local adaptation to ecology at SFP (Seminal Fluid Protein) loci in melanogaster.
I also collaborate on several other projects on adaptation genomics in various systems.
Research organisms:
D. melanogaster, dance flies (Diptera:Empididae)
Expertise:
Evolutionary genetics and genomics, population genomics, bioinformatics, mating behavioural experiments
