RESEARCH INTERESTS
I investigate climate-dependent eco-evolutionary feedbacks using a warming experiment reproducing natural conditions and thus allowing for both evolutionary and ecological dynamics to occur under a predicted climate change scenario. I additionally run laboratory experiments to quantify reciprocal impacts of climate-dependent evolutionary and ecological changes on each other. Other projects revolve around the role of phenotypic and genetic intraspecific variations in eco-evolutionary dynamics. While I often work on common lizards (Zootoca vivipara), I also study other species (e.g. newt, dragonfly, toad, protist, mosquitofish) for specific questions.
