My research
I am a population and evolutionary biologist. My research focuses on the diverse adaptations of alpine plants to the conditions of cold habitats, with a particular emphasis on the role of vegetative and sexual reproduction. I also investigate the causes of the extinction of small populations in biodiverse habitats, such as nutrient-poor grasslands, and am interested in the history of science and ethical issues in biology.
