Biography
Kapun Martin is working as Faculty of Biology and Medicine in Department of Ecology and Evolution at University of Lausanne.
Research Interest
Drosophila population genomics: Understanding the distribution of genetic variation in natural populations is the key to decipher the mechanisms underlying adaptation Functional basis of natural variation in Drosophila life history: The range expansion of Drosophila melanogaster to non-tropical, temperate environments has imposed many challenges and has led to a number of important adaptations, including major changes in life history traits (for example, the evolution of reproductive diapause and associated phenotypes such as lifespan and stress resistance). Evolution of chromosomal inversions in Drosophila: Chromosomal inversions represent structural mutations, which are pervasive and widespread in most organisms, including many species of Drosophila.
