Personal profile
Biosketch
I am an evolutionary biologist interested in the origins of biodiversity in a geographical context. I use fieldwork, phylogenetic, genomic and modelling approaches to reconstruct diversification dynamics over evolutionary time scales. I work on a variety of organisms (plants, birds and mammals) from islands and continental biodiversity hotspots.
I also study the impact of anthropogenic extinctions in islands worldwide.
I am based at Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden) and I have joint appointment with the University of Groningen, where I am affiliated with Rampal Etienne's group. We collaborate in many projects focusing on island biodiversity.
