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.
