How does life adapt,
persist and recover?
Exploring the interplay of ecology and evolution in a changing world.
We study how species interactions, individual variation and adaptation shape the resilience of living systems. Our work brings together mathematical models, empirical data, microcosm experiments and fieldwork in India.

Our research areas
All research →Ecology meets evolution
How do traits and genetic variation shape responses to environmental change?
02 / INTERACTIONSNetworks that change
How do species rewire their interactions and reshape communities?
03 / RESILIENCECollapse and recovery
Why do ecosystems cross tipping points, and how can they recover?
Curious minds are welcome.
