研究领域

I have a broad research interest in molecular evolution and molecular ecology. - What is the origin of genetic variation in populations and how is genetic variation in populations maintained? - How do different genomes and parts of the DNA evolve in plants? - What influences population structure in general? - Plant mating systems and their effects. - What are the influence of natural selection and gene flow on populations and species relationships in the genera Plantago and Tilia?
