Phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary adaptation
Our research group focus on the genetic basis of adaptive traits in natural populations and we are especially interested in the genetic mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity and the role of plasticity in adapting to changing environmental conditions.
Check out our description of current research projects and publication list for more details.
