Dr. Josselin Clo
Principal Investigator
I am interested in evolutionary quantitative genetics, mostly applied to the study of the contribution of non-additive gene effects into the adaptive potential of populations. To do so, I used predominantly selfing and autotetraploid species as model systems.
Eliška Petříková
Ph.D. Student
Eliška is a Ph.D. student working on the effect of whole genome doubling on the evolvability of autotetraploid populations. To do so, she will use artificial selection experiments to infer the realized evolvability of fitness traits in diploids and tetraploids (natural and synthetic lines). Eliška is co-supervised by Filip Kolář.

Susnata Salony
Ph.D. Student
Susnata is a Ph.D. student working on the evolution of triploid blocks and hybrid barriers between polyploid. Susnata employs cytometrical, ecological, and genomic tools for addressing the evolutionary consequences of whole genome duplication in mixed-ploidy populations across several flowering plant species. Susnata is co-supervised by Filip Kolář and Clément Lafon-Placette.
Yu Cheng
Ph.D. Student
Yu is a Ph.D. student working on the adaptiveness of polyploid species to environmental factors. Together we are developing theoretical models to study how genetic and environmental factors promote or not the evolution of polyploidy in diploid populations. Yu is co-supervised by Filip Kolář and Roswitha Schmickl.
