Biography
Perrin Nicolas of the Master of Science in Medical Biology hosted by the University of Lausanne.Faculty of Biology and Medicine. Ludwig Lausanne Branch Function (s): Full Professor.
Research Interest
I have rather wide-ranging interests across the fields of Ecology and Evolution. This led me to work on a diversity of topics, from life-history theory and optimal resource allocation to the evolution of mate choice and mating systems, population genetics and phylogeography, habitat and niche modeling, and the evolution of dispersal, kin structures and social systems. Depending on topics, I have been working on a variety of animal models, including flatworms, snails, crustaceans, fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals. My present research focuses on sex-determination systems, integrating evolutionary modeling approaches with empirical work on the dynamics of sex chromosomes, using amphibians as model organisms.
