I am an evolutionary ecologist pursuing to understand and disentangle the complexity of evolutionary processes in plants. My main research interest is studying adaptive processes of plants in response to ecological variability.

New study published in @natecoevo.nature.com ! We assembled the largest global dataset of plant–pollinator networks to ask a simple question: do interactions become more specialised towards the tropics? doi.org/10.1038/s415... Study led by @saileesakhalkar.bsky.social and myself ☺️ 1/8

And there is more! 🎨🌿 Our article was also featured on the cover of the issue of Heredity. A nice recognition for a study highlighting the evolutionary importance of marginal populations and their role as reservoirs of adaptive genetic diversity in a changing climate. @natureportfolio.nature.com

🧬🌱 New paper in Heredity @natureportfolio.nature.com We revisit the role of marginal populations and show they are not evolutionary dead ends. Using a genomic framework, we highlight their importance for long-term persistence and adaptation under climate change. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Excited to see this out! Glad our Plant Evolutionary Ecology group contributed to this incredible network - via coordination (Niek Scheepens, with Moisés Expósito-Alonso and François Vasseur) & site work (Martí March-Salas, Javier Morente-Lopez). @javiermorente.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social

Huge credit to the dozens of GrENE-net participants for their incredible investment in this distributed field experiment, and to Moisés and his team at UC Berkeley for the impressive, high-impact data analysis! @mexpositoalonso.bsky.social @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social

Rapid adaptation and extinction in synchronized outdoor evolution experiments of Arabidopsis
Climate change forces species to adapt rapidly to avoid extinction. To directly observe rapid adaptation and extinction, we conducted synchronized evolution experiments with Arabidopsis thaliana in 30...

Our new experimental evolution study across 30+ locations using the plant Arabidopsis thaliana —— we direct "see" adaptation and extinction to different climates at the genetic as it happens! Read it in Science dx.doi.org/10.1126/scie... @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social @hhmi-science.bsky.social
