Research interests
I am interested in a wide range of questions in evolutionary biology and ecology, particularly those at the interface of biology and mathematics. I work on methodological projects, as well as applications of methods to specific biological questions.
On the methodological side, I am particularly interested in conceptual and mathematical unification of modelling approaches in evolutionary biology. I have attempted to clarify the link between different approaches to social evolution theory (kin selection, multilevel selection, group selection, contextual analysis and so on). I have also used the Price equation as a tool to unify aspects of evolutionary game theory.
This work on methodology links back to, and has direct applications in the biological questions that I have worked on.
On the biological side, a large part of my work concerns the ancestral evolutionary origin of the two sexes, and the subsequent consequences of this transition. Keeping aside the complicated issue of gender in humans, the biological definition of the male and female sexes is very simple: if there are two differently sized gametes, then the type that produces the larger gametes (e.g. eggs) is called, by definition, female, and the producer of the smaller gametes (e.g. sperm) is male. But what caused this divergence in gamete sizes, which has taken place several times in evolutionary history? And what consequences does this simple divergence have for the subsequent evolution of the two sexes?
Whether working on a specific biological question, or on a methodological topic, some of the most interesting problems to me are those that reveal underlying simplicities in seemingly complicated things, and those that reveal connections between seemingly different phenomena.
