Research

Our research interests focus on understanding how species interact with other species and with their environment. We are particular interested on plant species and how they interact with their pollinators.

I am a PI at Lund University part of the SPACE Speciation Adaptation and Co-Evolution. My main line of research focuses on drivers of selection on floral traits at different altitudes and season in the tropical Andes of Bolivia.

I previously worked with Dr. Yuval Sapir group at Tel Aviv University I studied flower size and pollination systems on Royal irises. My main project focused on the genetic basis of flower size in Iris atropurpurea, and the relation between flower size and heat reward in Iris atropurpurea and Iris petrana. More details can be found in Projects and more about the lab here https://labsapir.wixsite.com/labsapir.
