  How does a placenta evolve? Insights from comparative genome analysis within the live bearing fish family Poeciliidae

  Unravelling the way complex organs evolve is one of the fundamental challenges in evolutionary biology. Most complex traits have evolved in the...

• Does the placenta drive the evolution of sexual selection?

  Now, during my PhD I will focus on the question: what are the consequences of the evolution of a complex trait, the placenta, on sexual selection in...

  Functional advantage of the Placenta and Superfetation in Live-bearing Fish

  Adaptation requires a phenotypic change due to selection that can be passed on to the offspring. Exploring selective forces and the evolutionary...
