Research in evolution bridges over several disciplines, including ecology, behaviour and genetics, to understand the processes driving adaptation in response to environmental pressures, combining both lab-based studies as well as investigating wild natural systems.

We explore questions related to:

• local adaptation
• reproductive timing
• sociality
• dispersal
• life history optimisation

Using techniques including:

• translocation and common garden experiments
• phenotypic analyses (e.g. morphological, behavioural, and life-history traits)
• theoretical models
• genomic analyses (e.g. whole-genome sequencing)
