Biography and Research Interest

I have been investigating behaviour, morphological variability and inheritance of stripe pattern in populations of zebrafish derived from different areas of the species' range. Such an approach can be combined with the wealth of genetic and developmental information available for the zebrafish to identify the processes which underlie population divergence and, ultimately, speciation.
