Marine Evolutionary Ecology

We are broadly interested in how interaction among abiotic conditions, genetic variation, and ecological processes drive the evolution of life cycles, life history traits, and local adaptation in marine invertebrates and macroalgae. 

​

Our projects span a range of themes, including:

​

• The evolutionary drivers of (partial) clonality

• The evolutionary drivers of phenotypic plasticity

• Local adaptation along abiotic gradients

• Acclimation & adaptation in novel environments

• The interaction of life cycle features with population genetic structure
