My activity
I am an evolutionary biologist interested in the population genomics of speciation and hybridization. My main study system is the blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) species complex. During my PhD, I worked on natural and anthropogenic admixture events in this complex. I am now starting to investigate a recently discovered transmissible cancer in Mytilus species. My research uses both empirical and theoretical approaches.
