Key Research Interests
- Eco-evolutionary dynamics of species’ life-histories and behaviours, with a current focus on (but not limited to)
dispersal, mating system and inbreeding. - Species’ (animals, plants, microbes) eco-evolutionary responses to environmental changes such as habitat
fragmentation and climate change: development of theory and spatially- and genetically-explicit applied models. - Effect of spatial structure and spatial processes on evolution of species’ adaptations and on populations and range
dynamics (e.g., invasive spread, range shifting…). - Eco-evolutionary dynamics of species’ interactions
- Speciation, diversification and reverse speciation.
