Biography

I am interested in Ecology, Evolution and Data Analysis. My current research is focused on the role of herbivores and sexual selection on the evolution of sex and the diversification of the Angiosperms. I am also interested in the mechanisms shaping plant community structure and their implications to restoration ecology. I have great interest in statistics and data visualization, phylogenetics and developing open software.

The maleness of larger angiosperm flowers

Our comparative results indicate that increasing male–male compe- tition across the spectrum of flower size is an important driver behind the evolution of sex allocation partitioning.
