Major scientific interests
My major area of research is the evolutionary response of organisms to global climate change, which I study using a variety of species, including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals and crustaceans. My collaborators and I have shown that some temperate species survived in glacial refugia that were located distinctly north of the traditionally recognized southern refugia, in areas of locally more favourable climate within regions of generally unfavourable climate. In ongoing projects, my students, collaborators and I are studying the importance and genetic basis of evolutionary adaptations that species have acquired to survive in such ‘cryptic northern refugia’.
