Research interests and expertise
My research aims to understand how patterns of biodiversity observed today have evolved over time. Is disjunct biogeography a result of neutral (geological or climatic events) or selective pressures (divergent selection)? What is the time-scale of diversification for a group of species, like a genus or (sub-)family? Has climatic variation during the Cenozoic and Quaternary glaciations affected species differently when occurring in disparate ranges and if so, why?
Because these questions are applicable to many groups, I study several tree families, but also include other organisms in my reserach. I use methods ranging from phylogenetics to population genetics, incorporating several types of markers (AFLP, nuclear DNA, cpDNA, genetic data, plastomes, full genomes), combined with geological and other biological data to infer and date phylogeographic scenarios.
Currently, I am especially interested in the analyses and use of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data, as these provide very powerful tools to answer evolutionary questions, such as fine-scale speciation patterns or complex reticulate evolution.
