研究领域

Research in my lab has two main foci which are becoming interlinked. First, we primarily work on how interactions between males and females influence genes, physiology, morphology and behaviour of each sex, and how the environment influences those interactions. In particular, we study how sexual and natural selection contributes to the evolution of reproduction strategies, mainly sperm form and function and how such selection can generate reproductive isolation. Second, we are taking a landscape approach to studying local adaptation to temperature stress, identifying genes that contribute to this response. Along the way, we are discovering that some of these genes are related to reproduction. Our research programmes use Drosophila as a model system, including D. melanogaster, D. pseudoobscura, D. subobscura, and D. montana. We use both lab and field populations, and employ a variety of research techniques including experimental evolution, microarray and RNAseq, and confocal microscopy.
