My main research interest is the evolutionary ecology of species interactions, especially plant-insect interactions, pollination biology and evolution and ecology of plant breeding systems. I am also interested in how climate change is affecting phenology, ontogeny and the time of species interaction of the obligated pollination mutualisms. Most current projects combine ecological, behavioral, phylogenetic and genetic tools to deal with the evolution of specificity and adaptation.
