DESCRIPTION:"What drives rapid evolution? What are the benefits of sex? Wh
 y is genetic diversity so high in natural populations? \n\nMy research add
 resses these fundamental problems in evolutionary biology by studying the 
 interactions between parasites and hosts. Parasites are ubiquitous\, and t
 heir antagonism can be severe and genotype-specific. Thus\, host-parasite 
 interactions provide a powerful empirical framework to elucidate the cause
 s and consequences of intra- and interspecific evolutionary changes. Our w
 ork focuses on the ecological and genetic aspects of rapid (co)evolution\,
  with particular implications for community interactions\, mating systems\
 , and the maintenance of diversity."
