Biography
Germán Avila-Sakar is an Associate Professor in Department of Biology at School of Science in University of Winnipeg, Canada.
Research Interest
I study the evolution of 1) plant sexual systems, and 2) defence against herbivores. Both topics are connected through resource allocation theory. How should plants partition their resources between the male and female reproductive functions to achieve greater fitness? How much should plants invest resources on growth, defence and reproduction at the different stages of their life cycles? I approach these questions from both evolutionary and physiological perspectives.
