Short presentation
I use plant-based interactions as model systems to answer questions on evolutionary ecology, coevolution, local adaptation, quantitative genetics, evolution of plant defense to herbivory, chemical ecology, genome assembly and genome evolution, comparative genomics.
I have worked with Datura stramonium (devil weed), Arabidopsis, Quercus and the woodland strawberry. Earlier days, I investigated the ecology of small mammals.
