Sexual selection and adaptation to novel environments

Our current research revolves around understanding how individual-level selection can modify mutation rates as well as their phenotypic effects, and how this in turn may affect evolutionary demography in sexually reproducing organisms. We combine experimental quantitative and molecular genetics to explore these processes, as well as other related questions within life history and sexual selection theory, in insect model systems.

  • Sexual Selection and Adaptation to Novel Environments
  • Condition dependent DNA Repair and Mutation Rates
  • The Evolution of Mutational Effects
