Summary

My research is focused on all aspects of the diversification of land plants with focus on seed-free land plants such as ferns and liverworts. I am especially interested in macroevolutionary patterns and their link to underlying microevolutinary processes. In my current research I am focusing in particular on the following key questions:

- Diversification of land plants through time investigated by integrating new fossil evidence and DNA based divergence time estimates.

- Assembly of species diversity and morphological disparity with focus on the “coupling” of the two parameters in the tree of life and its consequences for taxonomic practice

- Evolution of polyploidy in ferns

- Early divergence of land plant and the consequences of terrestriazation of plants

- Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and its consequences for plant life today

- Accumulation of plant diversity in SE Asia and Eurasia since the late Eocene

- Evolution of insect-plant interactions with focus on the widely ignored evidence for fern-insect interactions

My research integrates (1) state-of-the-art phylogenetics, (2) exhaustive expertise in plant anatomy and morphology based on the traditional expertise of the 19th and 20th century, (2) cytology, (3) biogeography and phylogeography, (4) taxonomy, (5) fossil evidence, (6) population genetics, and other related research approaches.

Introduction

Summary

My research is focused on all aspects of the diversification of land plants with focus on seed-free land plants such as ferns and liverworts. I am especially interested in macroevolutionary patterns and their link to underlying microevolutinary processes. In my current research I am focusing in particular on the following key questions:

- Diversification of land plants through time investigated by integrating new fossil evidence and DNA based divergence time estimates.

- Assembly of species diversity and morphological disparity with focus on the “coupling” of the two parameters in the tree of life and its consequences for taxonomic practice

- Evolution of polyploidy in ferns

- Early divergence of land plant and the consequences of terrestriazation of plants

- Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and its consequences for plant life today

- Accumulation of plant diversity in SE Asia and Eurasia since the late Eocene

- Evolution of insect-plant interactions with focus on the widely ignored evidence for fern-insect interactions

My research integrates (1) state-of-the-art phylogenetics, (2) exhaustive expertise in plant anatomy and morphology based on the traditional expertise of the 19th and 20th century, (2) cytology, (3) biogeography and phylogeography, (4) taxonomy, (5) fossil evidence, (6) population genetics, and other related research approaches.
