Research in our lab uses genetic, geographic, environmental, and morphological data to investigate the evolutionary processes shaping current biodiversity patterns. We combine both empirical and theoretical approaches to answer complex questions in ecology and evolution.
The exploration of natural systems is the heart of biological research, however, in order to understand the complex processes shaping current biodiversity patterns, it is essential to develop a work-flow that includes model-checking and novel ways of combining various types of data, so methods development is large part of our research.
