Research Interests
My research interests is evolutionary ecology, principally examining different aspect of sexual selection. Combining theoretical aspects and methods from various biology disciplines including behavior, ecology, genetics and immunology is for me very motivating and challenging. Because my field of research lie at the interface of several disciplines, I am also interested in bioinformatics tools; biodiversity and conservation.
During my Ph.D., I used controlled laboratory mating experiment and microsatellite analyses to investigate the various forces shaping the snow crab mating system. Female snow crabs are polyandrous and store sperm for very long period (>5 years) and thus provide an interesting long term perspectives to numerous evolutionary questions.
