Projects

Here are some of our current projects - mostly focusing on simulating genomic data, and Galapagos taxa.

Homoploid hybrid speciation
Homoploid hybrid speciation Argyranthemum from the Canary Islands

Using pangenome and population genomics we are studying how Argyranthemum has evolved its two hybrid species.

Parallel evolution in Cabo Verde Diplotaxis
Parallel evolution in Cabo Verde Diplotaxis Cabo verde Diplotaxis

We are exploring parallel evolution in Cabo Verde Diplotaxis!

IslandParadox
IslandParadox Unraveling the Paradox of Genetic Diversity in Isolated Oceanic Lineages

We are exploring the adaptive radiation of Scalesia! Soon to expand to other projects.

Ecological disparity in adaptive radiation
Ecological disparity in adaptive radiation Are adaptive radiations predictable?

This is a project focusing on phylogenetic and ecological data
