Research
Research in our group focuses on three main themes: (1) the evolutionary processes driving and constraining the formation of new species, (2) the ecological effects of rapid evolution (‘eco-evolutionary dynamics’), and (3) the genetics of adaptation. Various approaches are used to address these topics, including field observations, manipulative field and lab experiments, theoretical modeling, and next-generation DNA sequence data. Our main study system are Timema stick insects.
