I'm interested in ecological and environmental factors leading to adaptation in the visual system of fish and how these help to explain the great diversity of eyes found in nature. My research combines molecular techniques, genomic approaches, ecological data and behavioral experiments to understand the adaptive value of vision in freshwater fishes inhabiting distinct photic environments. More recently, I've been also focusing on the consequences of such phenotypic differences in visual systems on life-history traits and their implications for population dynamics and trophic food webs. My research aims to provide an integrative view within the field of evolutionary and sensory ecology. |
