RESEARCH INTERESTS
Being an evolutionary ecologist, my research focuses on the interaction
between organisms and their environment and these effects on organismal
fitness. The particular aim of my research is to explore the significance of
genetic and epigenetic organismal responses to both macro- and micro
environmental challenges.
Knowledge Areas
Genetics, evolutionary ecology, conservation biology, immunology
