Dr Barbara Tschirren
Senior Lecturer in Evolutionary Ecology
Profile
Broad Research Specialisms:
In my research I adopt an integrative approach to advance our understanding of eco-evolutionary processes in natural populations. I do this by applying ideas and techniques from complementary fields, such as behavioural and evolutionary ecology, ecophysiology, and genetics / genomics, and by integrating different organizational levels, from genes to populations, to understand how (proximately) and why (ultimately) diversity is maintained in the natural world and how animals adapt to their (changing) environment.
Office hours
During term, my office hours are on Tuesdays from 10 to 11 am and on Thursdays from 2 to 3 pm. Please use this link to make an appointment.
