Molecular ecology, bat ecology and evolution, Mammalian phylogenetics, southeast Asian biodiversity

Interests

I use approaches in molecular ecology, phylogenetics and molecular evolution to address questions in evolutionary biology and conservation. I am especially interested in the molecular basis of adaptation, population divergence and speciation. Most of my work focuses on mammals, particularly bats, which are highly diverse and possess a range of evolutionary innovations.
