Research interests

I am interested in how distributions and abundance of organisms are shaped: the fundamental questions of ecology. I am particularly interested in the roles of reproduction in shaping the patterns. Reproductive interference (costly heterospecific mating interactions) incurs fitness costs, and thus can affect both population dynamics and evolutionary dynamics. For example, reproductive interference may influence phenotypic evolution, coexistence of species, and the structure of biological communities. Because reproductive interference is mediated by reproductive traits, I am also interested in the evolution of reproductive traits in general.

My previous projects include: (i) population dynamics driven by reproductive interference, (ii) the role of sexual selection (especially male-male competition) in the evolution of reproductive interference capability, and (iii) evolution of population performance due to sexual selection. I am currently studying the eco-evolutionary dynamics mediated by dispersal behaviour that evolves in response to reproductive interference. I do not limit my approach or study organisms. My study organisms so far are Callosobruchus seed beetles, sexual dandelions, in-silico butterflies, and primrose.
