Main research interests

1. Selective sweeps. Characterizing selection using genetic polymorphism data.

For the last twenty years, the members of my research group and I contributed to developing methods to detect the signature of selective sweep events in the Drosophila genome.

2. Ecological genetics and major changes.

Characterizing major changes in ecological systems using parallel genetic polymorphism data from several species. Population genetics provides unprecedented means to explore the past history of species. We are developing methods to put together the information obtained from several species to explore the history of species communities as a whole.

Other research interests

3. Evolution in Drosophila.

Most of our our research on selective sweeps is conducted in Drosophila. In the course of our research, we were led to explore the history of several Drosophila species over the world, especially in Africa.

4. Molecular taxonomy and speciation.

Most of our research on major changes made use of Drosophilids (Drosophila and related species). This led us to explore the application of molecular taxonomy to the detection of sibling species. We are also interested in applications of barcoding to insects, especially Diptera.
