Evolutionary ecology and genetics

Almost all plants and animals can be identified as different species. How do these species form and how are they maintained?

We investigate the speciation process using closely related species that can still form natural hybrids in nature. We study both ecological process such as adaptation to different habitats and genetic processes that play important roles for the speciation process.

Our study systems include campions (Silene), willows (Salix) and thale cress (Arabidopsis).
