What we do

We are a research group in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Our goal is to understand and predict the evolutionary consequences of environmental change, and climate change especially. For example:

  • How does environmental change affect natural selection on ecologically important traits?
  • How does environmental change affect the amount and structure of genetic diversity in and among populations?
  • How do different evolutionary forces shape or constrain adaptation to changing environments?

We try to answer such questions using a mix of quantitative genetics, genomics, experimental manipulations, and field sampling of natural populations. We work mostly on marine invertebrates, but also plants and insects as interesting opportunities to do so come along.
