Research interest
My research activities concern integrative taxonomy, especially combining morphology and DNA-based species delimitations, invertebrate phylogeny and evolution, phylogenetic comparative methods to assess the mode and tempo of evolution and the contribution of morphological and ecological characters in organismal evolution, symbiotic systems and coevolutionary patterns, and finally seafood traceability using innovative and integrative methods.
