Personal profile
Research interests
I am interested in the ecological and evolutionary processes have shaped spatial and temporal patterns of biological diversity, primarily in aquatic environments. I have mainly worked on two systems: European marine fishes, and African freshwater fishes .
Topics currently being pursued include:
- Speciation and adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes
- Historical phylogeography of African freshwater fishes
- Influence of climate change and fishing on marine fish assemblages
- Conservation genetics of European marine fishes
