Some of the most prolific plant and animal species reproduce clonally much of the time, using sexual reproduction only rarely. My group will examine the consequences of evolving with little or no sex as well as investigate the conditions favouring the maintenance of sex, using a combination of theoretical, expermimental, and genomic approaches. The empirical work will use two facultatively sexual systems, duckweeds and monogonont rotifers.

一些最多产的植物和动物物种大多数时候都是无性繁殖，很少使用有性繁殖。我的小组将研究很少或没有性的进化的后果，以及调查有利于维持性的条件，使用理论，实验和基因组方法的结合。实验工作将使用两种官能性系统，浮萍和单殖体轮虫。
