We study ecological, evolutionary and eco-evolutionary dynamics of species adaptations and behaviours in space and during environmental changes, their consequences for population dynamics, persistence and diversification, and for species’ responses to rapid environmental changes.
We use theoretical models, mainly genetically- and spatially-explicit individual-based models, to generate fundamental understanding.
We also aim at translating this fundamental understanding into theory-grounded applications that can be used for both strategic and tactical modelling of, for example, spatial connectivity, population dynamics and species’ distributions, to aid management interventions.

Congratulations to Anders Charmouh for smashing his PhD viva!
Anders defended his thesis titled “Understanding mating system evolution through genetically explicit modelling” where he used mainly genetically explicit modelling frameworks to answer a series of questions in mating system evolution, such as how inbreeding mating systems can evade extinctions due to mutational meltdown, the role of kin selection in the transition from outcrossing population…
New concept paper: understanding dispersal evolution by linking experimental evolution, theory and modelling, and natural systems.
Very happy this fun collaborative concept paper is now out in Journal of Animal Ecology! We explore the recent use of experimental evolution for the study of dispersal and how, despite the challenges, it represents a promising avenue to better understand dispersal evolution under more complex and realistic biological scenarios, such as the role of…
Overdue congratulations to Roslyn!
Roslyn is leaving our group to start an independent position as Interdisciplinary Fellow at the University of Aberdeen, where she will investigate the interplay between food security, land use and biodiversity. Very well deserved! We look forward to many inspiring collaborations!
Massive congratulations to Max Tschol for brilliantly defending is PhD!!
Max defended his thesis titled “Sexual selection in small and spatially structured populations” where he used individual-based models to investigate how sexual selection affects population persistence via a variety of mechanisms, and considered different spatial scales spanning from single isolated populations to the dynamics of metapopulations and species’ ranges.
