My professional interests

Studies of microevolutionary processes underlying speciation events in various groups of metazoans. The research is primarily focused on evaluating the impact of various ecological and population genetic determinants on population differentiation and evolution of novel species. Such factors involve historical demography, geographic distribution and habitat preferences (adaptation) in free-living organisms, which is extended with the issue of host specificity in parasites. I am also interested in biodiversity conservation, particularly in genetics of small populations and in genetics of invasive organisms.

Examples of research topics:

- speciation in parasites and host-parasite co-evolution (read more...)

- hybrid zones (read more...)
