Research interests

I am interested in molecular evolution, molecular systematics and genomic diversity in vertebrates, particularly in mammals. My particular interest is to reconstruct the evolutionary history of key morphological or functional innovations, ultimately unraveling the genetic basis of morphological or ecological diversity in mammals and vertebrates. Additional interest is genomic evolution, to develop or test evolutionary hypotheses on speciation, natural selection, birth-and-death evolution and duplicated gene evolution based on genomic data using yeast as an evolutionary model organism.
