My research tackles important and timely questions at the interface of evolutionary, ecological and conservation genetics using a combination of classical population genetics and state-of-the-art population genomics.  I am particularly interested in the factors that shape genetic diversity over space and time, as well as in the impacts of genetic variation on individual fitness, population growth and eco-evolutionary dynamics.  My research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, embracing diverse approaches such as chromatography-mass spectrometry, stable isotope analysis, endocrinological and immunological profiling, movement analysis, in situ mesocosms, reciprocal transplant experiments and thermal challenge experiments.
