Also if you are interested to join a Masters or PhD program, just drop me an email, I am eager to help you to seek funding and develop your idea. I am broadly interested in migratory insects and their ecological implications for nature conservation. I mostly use genomic and ecological data to tackle questions on migration and dispersal patterns, population ecology and demography, the evolution of migration, spatial distributions of genetic diversity , speciation, species limits and systematics.
