 I am an evolutionary biologist with main interest in sexual selection. Most of my work focuses on the evolutionary causes and consequences of sex-specific selection. To adress my questions, I am primarily using lab experiments, meta-analyses and genomics. Model organisms include birds, flatworms, molluscs, fruit flies, and flour beetles.
