Short presentation
My research interest revolves around evolution and ecology of morphological variation. Specifically, I am interested in mechanisms of foraging efficiency; habitat choice; individual diet specialization; phenotypic plasticity; population and evolutionary dynamics as well as factors influencing gut microbiota.
