Léa is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Zoology at Stockholm University. She is a behavioural ecologist interested in sexual selection and mating systems in fishes. She received a Master of Science with highest honours from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Rennes 1 and recently obtained her PhD at the University of Pau and the Adour Region, where her research focused on the role of the social environment in shaping variation in sexual selection in lampreys.

Lennart is a postdoctoral researcher funded by the Wenner-Gren Stiftelserna in the Department of Zoology at Stockholm University.  He is an evolutionary biologist interested in sexual selection and the interaction of evolution and ecology. In his PhD on 'Sex-specific selection in different environments' at TU Dresden he combined experimental approaches in the red flour beetle with meta-analyses. His current project focusses on sexual selection in halfbeaks and the evolution of ornamentation in females.

Madicken combines phylogenetic and experimental approaches to investigate how selection has shaped the tremendous diversity in animal colouration and patterns. In her current project, she is examining the evolution of distinct markings in skates and rays. She is also experimentally testing if eyespots have an anti-predator function in an aquatic environment, using Brown-banded Bamboo sharks, Lemon sharks, and stickleback as model predators.

Robin combines AI-driven approaches and large-scale phylogenetic analyses to quantify how pollen morphology evolves across angiosperm.
