Exploring evolutionary change of complex phenotypes across time, space, and contexts 
using an integrative approach.

[ Research themes ]

Exploiting rapid human-induced environmental change (e.g., bio-invasions [1,2]​ and extreme climate events [3,4]​) to study
​evolution in real time.
Islands [5]​ are nature's test tubes; simple systems with
​multiple replicates. Experimental introductions [6,7]​ or island comparisons [8,9]​ offer powerful insights into evolutionary processes.
Using phylogenetic comparative tools to model major evolutionary transitions [10,11]​ ​and patterns across deep time.
Applying evolutionary principles to ongoing challenges in biodiversity conservation [12, 13]​ and engineering [14]​.

[ Research methods ]

Modeling phenotypic evolution to trace evolutionary transitions and test macroevolutionary hypotheses [15, 16]. 

Using advanced imaging techniques to capture and quantify fine-scale morphological variation  [17,18].
Assessing performance traits with clear fitness consequences to assess functional variation [19,20].
