Research Intrest

The evolution and genetics of colour pattern variation The genetic and developmental control of structural colours in animals The process of divergence and speciation within the genome The genetic analysis of natural hybrid zones to identify loci under selection I am interested in the genetic underpinnings of adaptive evolution, speciation and sexual selection in natural populations. The major focus of my current research is the evolution and genetics of convergent iridescent structural colour in Heliconius butterflies.
