We are an international community of researchers located in multiple countries. Our common goal is to improve our understanding of the evolution of biodiversity.
We use marine snails of the genus Littorina as model systems. We conduct field work on rocky shores, analyse various traits of the snails in the lab, perform analyses of large DNA data sets, and develop theoretical models.
