Research Interests

My focus lies on the evolution of male harm and female benefits in the context of sexual selection and sexual conflict. I am using experimental evolution, behavioral assays and paternity tests to investigate, how males and females interact and evolve. I am using Caenorhabditis remanei , a nematode which is an ideal model system for my questions.
