PHILIPPE GAUBERT




Research interests
I
am interested in developing integrative approaches
to answer a broad scope of issues related to the evolution and
biogeography of
a range of vertebrate taxa. I would qualify this philosophy of work as
(i) multi-methodological within the evolutionary research field,
covering phylogenetic to population genetic frameworks, (ii)
multi-disciplinary, having recently added the species
distribution modelling approach to my evolutionary investigations, and (iii) multi-taxonomic, since beyond taxonomic
expertise in small carnivorans, I am also targetting
additional models with different morphologies and
life-history traits, including pangolins and, lastly, freshwater
teleosteans.
Key words: Phylogenetics,
phylogeography, conservation genetics, species distribution modelling,
delineation of species boundaries, adaptive and speciation processes.
Target
taxa: (non-micro-)mammals and freshwater teleosteans.
Main study area:
Tropics.
