Biography
Mazepa Glib is working as Faculty of Biology and Medicine in Department of Ecology and Evolution at University of Lausanne.
Research Interest
I am focused on the evolutionary consequences of the clonal inheritance using the water frogs genus Pelophylax as a study system. These animals are famous for the unusual reproduction mode called hybridogenesis, which results from incomplete postzygotic isolation: the interbreeding parental species produce fertile hybrids, which lack recombination between the parental chromosome sets. My means of backcrossing to one of the parental species, such hybrids establish clonal lines that can persist for many generations.
