Eco-evo-devo - Bats - Teeth - Adaptation - Novelty - Space biology
I am an evolutionary developmental biologist. In my group, we aim to answer broad evolutionary questions related to the evolution of animal forms to understand how species adapt to various environments, on Earth and beyond. We mainly use the diversity of bats to study the evolution of dentition, dietary and sensory systems but also mammals in general. Please find here more about our research and scicom projects!
