About Me

I am an evolutionary biologist deeply fascinated by various ectotherm groups with a distinct focus on reptiles and spiders. Several manuscripts on these are currently in the review process. My current main project is my Master´s thesis on the phylogeography and population genetics of snake-eyed skinks (Cryptoblepharus) of the Western Indian Ocean distribution cluster.
