Research Interest
Life-history evolution; Plasticity; Gene expression; Quantitative genetics; Eco-evolutionary dynamics I am interested in life-history evolution and its demographic consequences in natural populations. Currently, I am studying how the interplay between genes and environment influences the evolution of complex phenotypes. I do this by applying quantitative genetic models based on experimental data and analysing gene expression in wild birds and fish.
