Research Areas: Focusing on the crustacean Daphnia, I use comparative genomics and population genetics to study the environmental adaptation and invasion mechanisms of Daphnia.
My main research interests include:
A) Adaptation mechanisms of Daphnia to extreme environments such as low oxygen, high salinity, and intense UV radiation
B) Formation and evolution of prototypic chromosomes in Daphnia
C) Mechanisms of obligate parthenogenesis in Daphnia and its impact on invasion
D) Phenotypic plasticity of Daphnia
E) Interaction between Daphnia and its microbiota
F) Mechanisms of production and revival of Daphnia's dormant eggsEducational Background:
